I'll agree with excluding the blackbelt, and I wouldn't worry so much about the fry of the cons as the erst of them will clean those up for you, but the cons will force everyone one to the side when they spawn and make it a bit uncomforatble for them.

I would also think about canister filters for this in addition to the Emp 400, two Emp 400's alone won't cut it IMO.

2 Emp 400's and a XP3 would rock and two XP3's and a Emp 400 and you would have real nice water!

Have you looked at the Fluval FX5? I'm putting one in for a client and it rocks.

I have a 125 that I built my own stand for. It has a 5" mang.f, 5" slavini m, 2 blue acaras, 5 convicts, 2 fire mouths, 3 blood parrots, chinese alg. eaters, and 8" channell cat they all seem to get along to be getting along well that is unless my mang. and salvini decide to cross then I will probably lose some fish. hopefully convicts.
