stocking a new 1400 gallon tank!

[legalos]

hey guys!
my Dad gave me the best gift ever! We had an entirely empty basement and while i was in ireland for about a month he hired some guys and built a 96"x46"x48" tank which is 1400 gallons. the glass is 3/4 inches thick with two overflows and a 125 sump tank filtering over 3200 gph. He put in tons of sand for substrate and plenty of rocks and plants (plastic though and self sinking) he had the tank running with 5 goldfish and a male convict who has grown to about 4 1/2 inches. i know i want central americawn cichlids but am not sure what to stock it with. All ideas are welcome

sweet tank but not 1400 gallons. more like 950ish. use the calc at the top

 

[jpmroane]

Regani, argentea, breidohri, pearsi, bocourti should do it

 

[fishman09]

dovii, jag, mix of amphilophus, nics, convicts to make a nigaraguan biotope

With that size tank you can have an amazing cichla collection and if stocked correctly you will never have to worry about fish outgrowing the tank and getting to crowded


Pics needed I'm sure everyone would like to see the tank
