So, I'm still working on this with my dad, but when/if I get him to agree (I'll probably be able to manage it, I don't ask for much from him), I'll want to have the whole thing planned out and ready to implement. So, here's my plan, and some of my questions..
Plan:
Equipment
So, here are my questions:
Thanks for reading the thread, I'll tell you how it turns out with my dad on setting the tank up! I don't have any tanks at his house, so this will be my sole entertainment over there When/if I get the go for this, I'll start the build thread (maybe pictures, maybe not).

Plan:
Equipment
- 24in T5 HO Light (Dual Bulb)
- Eheim Classic Canister 2213 (66gallons)
- Jager Heater
- Mopani Driftwood (16-18in)
- Dragon Ornaments (because I can )
- Sand/Crushed Coral(?) mix, basically the old substrate from discontinued tanks
- Castle Ornament (because I can)
- Cave ornament (maybe)
- Hygrophilia (Temple Narrow Leaf)
- Anubias Congensis
- Four Leaf Clover (Marsilea drummondii)
- Anubias Nana
- Micro Dwarf Sword (may transplant some from my 20gal)
- Angel Pair (Centerpiece) (will get 4 angels, then when they pair up split them into my 40b and 30t)
- Peppered Cory
- Schooling Fish (either a barb species or Penguin Tetras, leaning tetra)
- Pest Snail (they will come... that is the only certainty lol)
- Assassin Snail (later on, when the pests have multiplied a lot)
So, here are my questions:
- Will the un-mated angels be okay in a 40b, or should I add them to my 75gal (which has neon tetras... and small ones at that!)
- Will the mated angels become a problem for my schooling fish and corys?
- Is a 30gal large enough for an angel pair? (if not then I'll just get 1... or none and think up a new centerpiece)
- Should I lower the number of plants I have? (no CO2 systems, too expensive)
- Am I overstocked with 6 penguin tetras or tiger barbs, along with the cories and angels?
- Should I just stop at the cories and angelfish?
