I think you mean 111 gph....with media inserted, canister filters usually push fewer gallons than they're rated for. I would guess with the 203 that you'd be turning your water over 2x per hour. you might want to put a smaller HOB on the tank as well.

also, I took another quick look at the pix....tank and cabinet look pretty close to the wall. I suspect that you took the pix before setting the tank in it's final spot. make sure you leave a few inches between the wall and your tank on each side (before filling) as you'll need the space for hoses, heaters, etc.

Luckly there are parts on the hood you can put on to fill up the space if you dont have an hob, so she cant actually go fishing(i put a no fishing sign in just in case)
 
i just had a guy email me asking if I was interested in selling any of the swordtails, so i might be getting rid of some sooner than i thought
