Ok... I've been in the hobby for about 1.5 years now and just upgraded my filter system 2 months ago as I prepare to go to a planted tank later this year. I'm wondering if my current stocking is pushing things to the max or not in everyone's opinion. Here's the details.
55 Gallon Acrylic Tank
Eheim Pro II 2028 Canister Filter (made for 160 gallon tanks, 272 GPH)
Penn-Plax Cascade 400 Internal Filter (Up to 20 gallon) for water movement
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 30
Stocking:
2 - Goyder River Rainbowfish (2 inches)
3 - Bosemani Rainbow (1-3 inches, 2 - 2 inches)
1 - Turqouise Rainbow (1.5 inches)
1 - Yellow Rainbow (1.5 inches)
2 - Clown Loaches (2 inches)
3 - Kribensis (medium males- 1.5 inches)
3 - Apistogramma Cacatuoides (2 males - 1 inch, 1 female- .75 inch)
2 - Bronze Cory Cats (1 inch)
1 - Tiger Pleco (2 inches)
I'd love to add a couple more female apisto's so my males have more ladies to play with but may wait until I go planted this spring.
