Okay, so some of you may remember in a thread I posted before (may have been another category, anyways) that I *should* be getting a 180+ gallon tank towards the beginning of summer and I was curious on what my maximum stock could be with 25-30% weekly water changes, a 100 gallon sump and a rena xp4? Just a roundabout number, though I will likely be keeping only or mostly uj's because they are super easy to get around here.

You could probably fit another 5-6 more others depending on the species. What ones are you looking to add?

I want to complete the uj collection mainly and just get more of the same species.

well if your trying to complete the UJs then I'd say you shouldn't add more than the remaining UJs because out of the 5 that you don't have 2 can get more than 20" so I'd stick to finishing the UJs because when you do that you shouldn't have too much more space left.

That's what I was planning on doing, I like the lj's but I really want to finish a "set" but who knows I may go another route and get a jardini aro in a showcase type tank. Aros and polys are my favorite fish so it could go either way
