It told me an Oscar will grow too big for a 90gal. I'd disagree with that.

Hi there,

Thanks for your feedback. Currently, DB says it requires a tank with a footprint of 72x18 which is a huge tank. I believe that's a 125g tank.

I quickly looked up on Google again and recommendations are all over the place, ranging from 30g! (I'm sure that's too small) to 125g. Most common ones are around 75g (same footprint as 90g) so I may change it to that size...

more filtration? i have a aquarclear 50. should i put that in the tank as well

thanks for the website i will use that in the future for help.
your filter is perfectly fine..it has a GPH of 300....plenty to handle your tank...although extra filtration never hurts , you do not have to rush to put the 50 on t here....if you give the angels to your neighbor, and rehome the crays, your tank will be great...adding a few more cories to the school and you should be good to go...id keep the temps up to 84 for two weeks with some extra bubble rocks to add more oxygen (warmer water has less oxygen) do 2 gravel vacs a week and see how the fish are doing after that...dont medicate as you will loose your cycle.....good luck!
