Thought I share a few things =) (Pictures included)

I think you know what you are doing. It seems that you have learned that the current oscar tanks are more like grow-out tanks than homes for them. So long as the parameters are in check and you plan on making a sizeable withdrawl from that savings account in the next few months, I think you/your oscars will do fine. IMO
thx guys! I do have further plans to get a giant tank! But at the end, it's all about the money haha
The tank looks good.
Red-tail shark was my favorite fish I had as a kid. I got a 55 gallon tank when turned 16 and put one in with some chichlids. All were young, but the cichlids at off all his fins-- I grew them back in the guppy tank though.

I have to agree with the others posts, great fish and setups the only problem would be what happens when everything starts to get big and it looks like you've got that covered as well, looking forward to watching everything grow
Thanks for all the great comments, and I knew everyone will tell me that I need a bigger tank to support them all =) I realize that before I posted! I was planning on a 180 Gallon! BUT i might have to go for something even bigger!
The juvenile oscars are all seperated at the moment in 20's 30's and 33's! They aren't getting aggressive! but they do need better water conditions! With keeping most of them in one 75gallon was HELL! and quite brutal with water changes!
But one thing for sure, my problem are the two Giant Gouramis, they are the reason why I started keeping giants, and if people wonder their growth rate, they came home about 2-3 inches, and are now 6-7inches in two months! They are getting aggressive only towards each other! if I got plants in there, neither will get injured, when I have too little plants in there, they will basically kill each other! will they still be the same as they grow? Can anyone answer that?
Anyways, thanks for everyone's comments and concern, glad you aren't those bad LFS that just watch fish die and just leave em in the tank and not fish em out for over a week! =(
