New 225 Setup

[Joey47]

Will my equipment be efficient enough to keep my new tank running efficiently

FX5 custom plumbed full of bio ceramics
2- AC110's each running a sponge and bio max
2- Stealth 250 watt heaters

My stock will be:

5 pbass
8 yoyo loaches
8 clown loaches
2 common plecos
1 silver aro
1 JD
1 RD

Let me know if I should do anything else.

Thanks Guys

I had the same filtration, it worked well for me. But then I swapped the AC110's for anther FX5.

Size of the fish Joey?

But i think your good on filtration.

aro is about a foot long, pbass from 4-6 inches, loaches from 2-4 inches, plecos at 6 inches, jd at 4, rd at 4.

Your filtration is good. IMO.

I forsee your loach will be a problem.. with the foot long arowana..

Also your Jack dempsey might be an issue.. I lost 2 jack dempsey at 4" from my Silver arowana over a period of 5 months.. The arow was 12" but in 5 months.. became 15" and the two jack dempsey couldn't keep up the growth..
Needless to say.. my Arow went after them.. couldn't swollen it.. but did chew it pretty bad that they later died from the attack.. Wasn't pretty..

So i think u should reconsider your 4" Cichids.. and the Clown.. other than that.. ur other fish seems ok!

Love to see some picture soon

they are all living together right now in a 60 gallon and doing ok. i know its cramped, but the water is pristine and filtered well. they should all be in the new tank by this friday.

I think your set up should be fine.

I am running two Fx5's on a 220 right now and it keeps the water parameters perfect, the only thing I would like to improve on is the fine particles that are in the water. I would say your good on filtration.
