I am getting a new tank soon, planning on it being a Fluval Vicenza 260l bowfront. I am hoping to do a planted tank, with a half/half sand and eco-complete substrate, and keeping just cories and angels. So, onto the questions:
1) Am I going to have issues with the angels being too agressive for the cories? If not, what stocking levels would be suitable? I was thinking 6 angels and 12 cories - not sure if the angels would need to be thinned out if they formed breeding pairs.
2) The tank comes with a Fluval 305 canister filter. To improve flow (to please the plants), I'd like to replace this with a 405. That way I can also cycle the filter in advance of buying the new tank. Are the hose connectors for the 305 and 405 compatible? The Fluval tanks are designed around the appropriate hosing for these filters.
That'll do for now, thanks!
