So i plan to start a 90 g sometime next year. i plan to have an oscar and a rainbow shark so here are my questions



1- Filtration- What kind of filtration, I would like to have only one filter but i dont want to go over two. i heard minimum gph would be like 400. So i am pretty sure i want to go with a canister filter, and i dont want many because i want to hide them so the tank looks neat. So what kind of filter should i get? (brand, gph etc.) and what media?



2-heater? watt? how many?



3- what kind of lights?



4- stockin? I already want an oscar and a rainbow shark what else? (No silver dollars I don't like them)

feel free to not answer all of them but i mainly want to know the answer to #1
 
I had a Fluval FX5 on my 90 gal and it did a great job on keeping the water clear. My preference for biomedia is Seachem Matrix. Top tray filter wool and 2 trays of matrix.

LED light. Beamswork are good value for money.

I think the rainbow shark would be in for trouble with the oscar.
