I have a 120 rift tank and do 50% a week and all is good
Which bichirs do you have? And how big are they atm? And bgk? How big us it? Are you going to keep them in a 75 for life? If so I'm sorry for that bgk.

Polys poop alot more than your African peacocks and mbunas.
And yes there's no reason it cannot be done unless what I stated above. 70-80 % wc every alternate day.
BTW what tank size do you

recommend for the OP with his initial stock? ?
Yes, polys do poop a lot, I also have a 180 with a 11” Delhezi and a 13” endi, along with a 5” kelberi, two 6” snooks and a CL and a pim blochi. I do 50% weekly on that and all is good, but I’m selling one of the snooks and the CL is there temporarily to deal with a snail problem. I’ll probably get something bigger at some point
Sir I've had a bgk. They grow upto 12" In about 1.5 yrs if you take good care of it. And a 12" Fish in a 18" Tank with 5+ more fishes that can get upto 12-15" Is not a great setup imo.
