Ok hello, I am now convinced I probably know just about enough to screw things up. Would appreciate some advise

I am putting up a 220gallon oscar tank, nothing this big before.

estimated total size after decorations 215 gallons 72x24x30"

Total fish will be 4 oscars one black knife 2 small plecos 8" max growth and one green terror they are 3-5 inches now and get along well in an 80. i.e. I have culled them out.

7 snails estimate

Filters 2 fluval FX5's

UV filter turbo twist in line on one of the fluvals

Question one "Does this seem reasonable" ?
Question 2 "Any suggestions or observations/ things I should consider"?

3) Is there any reason to consider a wave maker in a tank this sze with the proposed filters.

4) I have some large chilid type river rock how much ( deep 1/2 inch or 1 inch ) should I shoot for as substrate.

5) Can I use 100% clear silicon from Lowes for attaching plants etc or do I need a specialty type of silicon

6) Anything other thoughts


thanks for your consideration
