New TANK is here! 90G-MINI-MONSTER BUILD underway!

No idea what to stock, really still have no idea. The ideal thing would be 2-3 JAGS living together without any fighting. Or 2-3 Albino Tiger Veil-tail Oscars, or a few EBJD's.
Not sure if I should dump a few bunches of silk plants in there to add some cover, or try to raise a group of young fish in a completly bare system. It worked for the single JAG I had in my 150, I raised that fish in that setup by himself and he was never shy and thrived.
One thing for sure is NO GRAVEL, I'm never doing a gravel-vac, a bare-bottom-vac is the way to GO.

I would add some sand, personally. It gives the same ease of maintenance as bare bottom, but looks much better IMO. Also, if you were to use sand you could try real plants.
As for stocking, I would reccomend 1 Jag (probably best female). Some may say 2 Oscars, I would personally only say 1. Or you could likely have 2, possibly 3 EBJD's.
I know it seems a waste to only have 1 fish, but Jags and O's are both large, bulky, messy eating fish. Which are also very active.
Regardless of whether you raise juveniles, cichlids are cichlids and can turn at any point, and with only 90g it wont be pretty.
Anyway, nice looking tank, I'm sure you can do a lot with it. I would recommend aquascapingas I personally cant stand bare tanks.

Great build and the dual filters might have been a pain but they look awesome.

Yes it does look a lot like my old 150G 
That was a killer tank! Broke my HEART to sell it all, but I was basically BROKE and lost my job and has to move out of my apartment ASAP.
If I were to ever come into a large sum of money, I would do it all over again, maybe even larger, something like a AGA-210-GALLON with 4-canisters I don't know what I like more, the actual equipment or the fish
