This is my outdoor tank (~ 300g). It is triangular shape.
It is currently connected to a 120g sump. I am planning to have another sump connected to it ( 6' X 2.5' X 2' ~ 220g). It will contain mostly water plants. That would make the total water volume in the system to be ~ 600g.
How many adult Cichla do you think I can keep in the main tank (combination of Kelberi and Azuls), considering the total water volume? I know the space available for living is limited to 300g, but the total water volume is double.
I will be depending on plants to do the most of the filteration.
