This is a temp setup until I move to a bigger place in a couple of months.
I've had the Oscars for 2 months now they have grown from 2" to almost 6" The Green Terror I got at the same time as the Oscars has grown from 2" to about 5.5" less than a month ago I picked up the Jack Dempsey and the Black Convict. They were both about 1" and are around 2-2.5"all of them get along great except the convict chases the GT out of the drift wood from time to time nipping at his dorsal fin. Currently they are all housed in a 75 gallon tank I got off craigslist. The tank had the sand and most of the decor in it when I bought it. I've had it set up for a week now and can't seem to get rid of the cloudiness from the sand, so any suggestions are welcome. The fish like to move the sand around and I keep getting sand on top of the plants and driftwood from the fish moving it around.
For filtration I have an AC 500 and a Magnum 250 which I'm thinking about replacing the 250 with something bigger. I'm also wondering if with the filtration I currently have is that enough to not need to have an air bubble wall in there.

did you cycle the tank before you put the fish in it?
What kind of sand is it also?
 
Yes I cycled the tank, I'm not really sure the sand was given to me with the tank. The water was clear before adding the fish to the tank. There's big and small partials in the sand as you can kind of see in some of the pictures.
 
thats some good growth rate on the terror!!
nice tank, any updates?
 
Thanks, the Terror has slowed down he will sit there and look at the food until after The Oscars start eating, then he goes and eats too. I'll have to get some updated shots of all of the fish. I can't wait till we move and I can get the 150 setup. Then to figure out who will stay in the 75 and who will go in the 150.
 
Yeah nice growth rate. The wood looks fantastic, nice work!
