First off, this tank looks awesome. I love banana plants, they have some of the greenest leaves. Your swords and rotalia, i think in the right corner, are nicely placed. I put boat loads of fish in my own tanks and as long as the tank can support them and you do the maintenance it should be fine. You have a good filter, as long as you do water changes once a week. Cool fish too.

Thanks Kurt!  Thanks 5BodyBlade!

I got dinged this past week where someone said I was overstocked.  They said that before they saw all of the tank or new about the FX5 or that it was a 120gallon.

BTW someone sent me this sight for checking stocking.  http://aqadvisor.com is a great link.

5BodyBlade...   I cut back the Wysteria because it was off the hook and taking over everything.

Check out this video and you will see what I mean.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qqbNV_kpDQ

 

I wanted to try and mix it up instead of have one plant take over the back right corner.

FYI --  I added a forum for this as well.  Some folks put some good info here.  The web site that allows you to put in your tank, filter and fish is the best tool I've seen for checking stocking as well as if the fish will live well together.  Thanks everyone for all of the feedback!

I think you will be fine because you have a alsom and very large filter on the tank just keep up with your water changes and the other tank maintenance love the tank i would grow plants along the hole back of the tank so it gives you a nice background love the tank though.
