IT will be a while before I get this tank but here is the plan. If anyone sees any potential problems then say so. Thanks
Tank: 55-75 gallon (does anyone know the difference in price approximately?)
Substrate: PFS with CC mixed in, since the PH here is around 7.0
Filter:

Which one should I choose? Also would these be alright if I went with a 75? I know Cichilds are messy fish.
Heater:
if 55: 2 200 or 1 300 or 1 250 Which?
If 75: 1 300 or 1 300 and 1 100 Which?
Lighting:
I have NO idea... I need something that will bring out the coloration of the fish, but the bulb still needs to be suitable for plants since im going to try to grow some Java Fern Opinions/advice?
Rocks:
Also under question. Probably lava rock, although i was thinking about limestone
Plants: As already mentioned Probably just Java fern and java Moss, Possibly some Anubis
Fish:
Im really not sure about any of this... Tentative stocking plan:
2 pairs of yellow labs
1 pair Cobalts (possibly 2?)
4 Acei's
4 red zebra cichlids
Any one see any problems or things that could be improved?
TIA
