I guess it will all depend on the demensions of that tank. And what your filtration is I would say it will pushing the limits of being able to control water quility when all those arows are 3 footers. Get a huge sump full of bio max and filter socks with a inline u.v and you should be all set i deffenitly wouldnt put any more fish it it. I personaully like to keep tanks with single specimen show fish, or pairs or trio's or what ever. I never have had a seriously over stocked tank it not what i like. But you deffenitly have a tank big enough to shove tons of cool fish in there like you have. Should deffenitly post the pics of the tank, stock, and filtration for a better understanding but if you are having problems with nitrates now. that problem isnt going any were sence those areas are all getting way bigger then they are. U said you might get rid of the dats why. I would keep the arows, dats, and ray and get rid of every thing else. You should invest in a small size beed filter with a inline u.v on the return and your paramiters will be golden not matter what or size is in there.

I got a 90g sump with all kinds of biosphere, bio balls in a wet/dry environement
lots of matrix and ceramic rings submerged
and lots of mechanical filtration.

I wanted to upgrade to a 150g sump but i dont think i will need to since the current system is handling the load just fine.
im doing 20% water every 2 days at the moment but soon i will put the continuous water change system and i will be changing 20% daily and that should keep my nitrates low :)

i Have no ray my FRT wont let it happen :(
I am getting rid of the Poly for sure also going is the silver dollar, 2 Dats , the small FRT once its sold and maybe the tsn ( its going to be hard cuz he so cute . i even got a song for it )

That is indeed a nice stock you have there. Asian arrowana's :drool:. You said you could not keep ray's becasue of your FRT, why, becaue he bites them? Have you had them together in the past?

Yes that is why
2 years ago i had a tea cup ray and my frt bite its tail off. The ray died a few days later. That was a really sad day for me so i decided not to try again.
