I'll be over stocking this aquarium with Oscars and Plecos.

Filtration available,

2 FX5s filled with Seachem Matrix and De-nitrate

1 Eheim Classic 600 with polishing pads and Eheim substrate.

1 Fluval 405 filled with Ceramic media

1 Fluval 204 with just pads, used for random socks of media

I'm contemplating a UV Sterilizer on the return line of one of these canisters.

And am looking for a good idea on an Inline heater as well.

What would you all suggest?

Thanks
Mike

I concur with the heater situation. Currently the two FX5s are hooked up. I was contemplating selling the other canisters I have and running a third FX5 and use two inline heaters and one Turbo Twist on the returns of the FX5s

But figured maybe some folks have tried different things and would have suggestions
I haven't been impressed with the inline heaters available these days....a 225 is gonna need some efficient heat...
Maybe more than one?
 
Why not a sump? You could put 2 heaters in a sump with a controller. And other stuff, too. No equipment in the display tank.
 
Aquarium isn't drilled, not really wanting to drill it or build a pvc overflow this time around. That's the reason I'm long for In line heater and uv suggestions.
