So I was looking for a cheap 125-200 gallon and found a 265 used tank for sale that is currently used as a display tank at a local fish store. It comes with a stand and a built in thing for a sump filter( which I don't know anything about). I plan on making it freshwater if I do decide to buy it.
What kind of lighting should I use if I wanna have plants in the tank, does the 2 watt per gallon still apply for a tank this large? (I don't want a heavily planted tank if any of the fish listed below will destroy them, and if they do then the only plants I want are ones to grow on driftwood).
Since the tank has a built in sump thing should I just get a good sump filter or what would you guys recommend to really overfiltrate the tank?
I wanna have my current baby fire eel, baby electric blue jd and an assortment of cichlids in the tank. Would having a stingray, mbu, or fly river turtle (if I can ever find one) or any combination of those 3 pose a problem? (I plan on trying to get all the fish at as young an age as possible aince I will be strapped for cash after the setup)
