I just purchased a 300 gallon tank, 96" x 30"W x 24" H. It will be heavily planted with Co2. I was planning on filtering it with two Rheim 2128 filters. I already have the filters on other tank. I was going to runn the Co2 system off a Magnun 350. Again, I already have the Magnum with the Co2 running on my 120 gallon.

Do you think this will be enough filteration. I am taking three tank and breaking them down and filling this tank with the Filters, fish, plants and driftwood so I shouldn't have to cycle. The fish going in will be:
5 Clown Loaches, (4" - 7" range)
7 Polka Dot Loaches (small now - 2 1/2")
one large 9" Snakeskin Gourami
6 Pearl Gouramis (2 male - 4 female)
12 Ottos
Bristlenose
numorous small Tetras
2 pairs Bolivian Rams
2 pairs Blue Rams
Some Cherry Barbs
11 SAE's
9 Dwarf Neon Rainbow
4 Celebrese Rainbows

Want to add 9 Congo Tetras I have in my 180 but I'm not sure if they can handle 80 degrees

80 is fine....don't go way above 80 for anything you mentioned

There's an edit button in the upper right corner of the field.
