210g stocking question

[nightster]

i may be purchasing a 210g tank this coming weekend and i was thinking about making it a peacock dominate tank. my question is how many cichlids could i keep in a 210 with an fx5?

Would you consider trophs?

[nightster]

[fshfrk]

i have like 50 fish in my 240 gallon and about 1/3 of them are peacocks...but i have 3 canister filters, 2 powerheads and one 800gph pump going. And i feel like i bearly got the the flow i want.

I'm gonna go with a 125, I realized a 210 is a lil big for me.

minus well go big man.....i have my 240 gallon and wishing i got something 300+ now. I think its just as easy to clean if not easier because rocks are not as crowded now. Now i can put my snorkel on and swim with my fish.
