Stocking Q's - Trust AqAdvisor or no?

[rainbowcharmer]

I mentioned in another post that I want to consolidate tanks (and preferably upgrade to a larger tank - something in the 150-200 gallon range). However, thus far my Craigslist finds have all been WAY too far away. None of them within 100 miles anyhow. Or at least none of the ones priced in a manner that I would pay for them. So I have a local fish store working on a potential new setup for me, but haven't gotten pricing back from them yet either. I could have had a 150 gal setup for $500, but no way to transport it and it's about 100 miles away. Tried to talk the guy into delivering for a fee, but no dice.

Anyhow, long story short, for kicks and giggles I put all my stock into the 75 gallon tank on AqAdvisor. And it says I'm 84% stocked. Only warning it gives is that the red eye tetras may nip the Angel.

Stocking is as follows:

1 Angel fish
1 Red-Headed Severum
8 Diamond tetras
8 Red-Eye Tetras
10 Julii Cories
3 Bronze Cories

Filtration: 1 Eheim 2217, 1 Sunsun 302

Says I'm 213% filtered.

I can add another Sunsun (the one currently on the 46 gal bowfront), but probably won't at this point since it doesn't sound like I need it.

So my question is - is AqAdvisor right? Could I conceivably consolidate what I have now into my 75 gallon tank? If so, that would at least allow me to sell off the others to put towards the bigger setup that I want to purchase.

Just wondering. Thoughts and suggestions por favor.

Currently the Severum, Juliis, and Red-Eyes are in the 75 gal, and the Angels, Diamonds, and Bronze cories are in the 46 gallon.

Thanks all.

I would never believe the site you mention..they may be okay for a newbie starting out, but having a matrix that displays a bunch of warnings, as they often do, really isn't very helpful. No math formula is really going to take into account traits such as gender and breeding behavior, territorial issues and aggression with maturing.

I also think the stock you have would not be to much for a 75 gal tank.

So you think the Sev and Angel would be alright together? They're both good sized fish - 5+" each. That is really my main concern. Neither have shown any aggression in their current setups, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't if they were together.

The sev/angel combo is like most cichlids...for some it works, for others it doesn't. Just depends on their personalities, IMO.
