Will this setup work?

[Arghas]

So I'm planning to get this now; 180 gallon tank with a 75 gallon sump, 1 fx5 canister filter, and 2 "emergency" oxygen dispensers.

The stock list i was thinking was this;

1 arowana
1 datnoid
1 fire eel
3 stingrays
1 Frt
MAYBE-1 parrot fish for the gf

All fish should come in juve sizes, and WC of 1 - 2x per week. Do you think the filtration is enough, and am i overstocking?

what kind of rays are you getting?

and what kind of arowana? for most rays and for silver arowanas that tank is too small

 

[superleggera123]

a 180 is perfect for atleast 2 years
filtration is perfect
dont get a silver arowana
get a black or asian that stays smaller

I'm planning to get a blue based cross back, and 1 normal motoro female, and 2 leos. I'm thinking of keeping this setup for 1-2 years before upgrading. Is it too small?

 

[superleggera123]

for 1 to 2 years its perfect
i have the same fish in my tank
are u in TO?

there is a chance the frt will bite the rays and eel I would leave it out.

hehe not from TO---from BC-richmond specifically!

to pounder;

Sadly, I can't do anything about the FRT. The FRT was how i sold the aquarium idea to the gf...she wanted cute stuff--the turtle, then told me i can get any friends for the turtle....i hope...they do become friends though---and i dont see any flying eyes.

From my experience, the turtles should be fine, as long as the stingray and the eel are alot bigger than the turtle

If the turtle is too naughty---he will find a nice place to live in the sump!
