I added a female krib to main tank and she was a bully, and ripped up a platy's fins. At the moment she's on the naughty step i.e. in solitary in a fluval edge, clearly this won't do so today my MTS took hold and I ended up getting a second hand Fluval Roma 125. 
My tanks so far:
200l tank, lots of bogwood and heavily planted with 8 zebra danios, 12 cardinal tetras, 6 peppered cories, two dwarf gourami, a baby bristlenose (new today) and 7 platies plus whatever male fry come out of the 12 guppies/platies in my 'nursery' tank.
65l tank, with mopani and bogwood and lots of plants, with 2 female guppies, 2 female platies, 8 pygmy cories and a clown plec.
A nursery tank with about a dozen assorted livebearer fry.
The edge is going as soon as the new tank is set up and I'm convinced it's cycled properly - The filter media which came with it was soggy but I don't know how long it had been out of the tank. It's got no ceramic media in the filter.
The new tank (the 125l) has a 3D rock/plant background and so i'm going to get some black sand and white rocks, plant it up a bit and make a bit of a rock theme.
Now I want to know who I can put in there! Ideally with Evil Mrs Kribensis, although if I have to rehome her I will, with a heavy heart. I am up for moving some folks around.
Would love to hear some suggestions! My PH out of the tap is about 7.8 although never looks the same on two readings so I tend not to worry too much about it.
Would I be able to have Bolivian Rams in any of these tanks? I saw some today and I would love to get a pair/group? but haven't done the research...but then i did the research on kribs and no one told me she would be such a moody cow!
