Just Starting Next Tank, Opinions?

[mwood2]

FULL EDIT AND UPDATE OF TOPIC:

Will I got everything together now. Final specs after all set up:

29 Gallon:

2 Nutrafin CO2 canisters (each canister with custom mixture)
2X 24 watt T5 Lighting (Around 1.6 Watts)
Fluval U3 Filter
Eheim Ecco 2234 (Rated for 60 Gallon, its 6+ Months mature and moved from another tank along with stock)
Red Sea Root Them Substrate Heater (20 Watts)
100 Watt Heater (Currently off since average temp inside is 80+)
Bubbler (To prevent CO2 Build up at night)

Stock:

1 Platy
1 Opalaine Gourami
1 Keyhole Cichild
3 Coolie Loach
1 Upside Down Catfish

Plants:

1 Red Melon Sword
2 Petite Anubis Nana
2 Amazon Sword
1 Moss (Cant think of type at moment)

The tank was set up yesterday, everything was planted today and I just recently moved the stock and filters from another tank to this one. Anyone have suggestions as to what else I can do for this tank? My ending stock as of right now that I want to end up with is:

2 Keyhole
10 Galaxy Rasbora
1 BN Pleco
5 Coolie
6 Dwarf Chain Loach
1 Platy
1 Opaline Gourami

Quick look at aq adviser says this would put my stocking at 118% but by the time I achieved full stocking the filter sure be up to it since I plan to go up over time. Anything wrong with this or any other suggestions?

why not add another keyhole. I always find cichlids interact so much better as a pairand they are lovely fish as well that colour up in a bland but attractive way when a pair

 

[mwood2]

Would adding the keyhole to my goal stocking be overstocking?

 

[BethK]

Are you adding cycled media to the tank or will you be cycling from scratch?

I shouldn't think adding 1 extra keyhole would be overstocking.

id get a black ghost knife fish if i were you mate ive had mine for about 1 year now and hes class!! eats out of my hand swims alround my arms when im in tank, tank wouldnt be the same without him or if u dont and stick with tetras of some sort id go for purple emperor tetras or x ray tetras show some brilliant and nice colours few months down line

Sorry but a BGK grows waaaay to large for a 29 gallon. I might consider that 2 keyhole idea though. They do have a lot of personality.

I am adding a half year old matured filter into this new tank along with all its media.

Buttery advice This tank is 29g, not even half big enough for a BGK.
