Hi,
I bought a Tetratec EX700 from fishbitz, on-line (In the uk) Paid about £64 for it. Mine is for a vision 180 but they do the bigger filters too.
It;s really easy to maintain and is super quiet. I'm really pleased with it.

What type of sharks are those? The Angels may be aggressive towards the Betta fish. Fish can "snap" and you may one day end up with a floating fighting fish. If you get Discus, the Neons may get eaten, and the sharks may be a little too aggressive towards them (depending on the type you have.) Discus prefer peaceful, slow moving fish. They are also slow eaters so the slow moving fish should be practiced except for dithers.

What kind of shark is it?
need 2+ more peppered catfish; they are a shoaling species.
Tetras will bother fighting fish, best seperate him to his own 2.5 gallon.
Don't know if mussles will adjust well, or clams. Odd thing to have in a freshwater tank.
Crabs will likely kill everything.

Discus are very picky who they share their tank with. Not suitable tankmates for your current stock i'm afraid.

Remove the fighter, if it doesn't attack anything then something will attack it (almost everything except snails,cories etc)
Remove the crabs they'll attack what ever they can catch.
Up the cory number to 5/6.
What type of sharks as has been said and what tetras?
