Ok, so I was told yesterday that I will get a 125g if I can get good grades, but will have to get rid of my 55. I plan on moving some of my favorites to a densely planted 37, taking down the 55, setting up the 125, and keeping a 5 gallon for something.
So, I was hoping to be able to house my 3 favorite fish in the 125, pictus cats, an Oscar, and a small group of Satanoperca leucosticta. I plan on over-filtering the tank, and doing this: http://aqadvisor.com/AqAdvisor.php?AquTankName=&AquListBoxTank=Choose&AquTankLength=72&AquTankDepth=18&AquTankHeight=22&AquListBoxFilter=Choose&AquTextFilterRate=N%2FA+&AquListBoxFilter2=Choose&AquTextFilterRate2=N%2FA+&AquFilterString=pictus+catfish&AquListBoxChooser=Pictus+Catfish+%28Pimelodus+pictus%29&AquTextBoxQuantity=5&FormSubmit=Add+%3E&AquTextBoxRemoveQuantity=&AlreadySelected=201002121217%3A1%3A%3A%2C200911101445%3A4%3A%3A&FilterMode=Display+all+species&AqTempUnit=C&AqVolUnit=gUS&AqLengthUnit=inch&AqSortType=cname&FilterQuantity=2&AqJuvMode=&AqSpeciesWindowSize=short&AqSearchMode=simple
I already have the leucosticta, so he defintely has to be in the 125 with some friends.
I plan on getting the O once the 125 is set in stone (99% chance, not 100% yet though) and growing him out in the 37 until I pick up the 125. (Once he is in the 125,some of the 55 goes into the 37, the rest goes to the LFS or buyers like you) I will be getting the tank this summer, probobly in July. The O will be with some danios, and will NOT be feed live food, just pellets + flakes + frozen bloodworms. I plan on getting him tiny, at around 1"-1.5".
Will a set-up like this work? What kind of PH, Temp would you reccomend? What filters would be the best for this set-up. For substrate will pool filter sand work?
