This tank is STOCKED:

2 Oscars
1 Salvini
1 Jack Dempsey
1 Green Texas Cichlid
1 Firemouth
1 Green Terror
1 Red Terror(Baby)
1 Jag (Baby)
1 Angelicus Loach
1 Common Pleco
1 Nicauraugense Cichlid

I vacuum the gravel two times a week, and do two 30-40% water changes a week.

The guy at my LFS tried talking me out of the aquaclears, and to go with two of the penguins, I think the Aquaclears will be better, as they each move 500gph, and have bio filtering also, but let me know what you think.

Wow that's quite a list of fish. Do you have any long term plans for all those large fish? You've got some great fish, but over the long term they are all not going to last in that one tank.

Indeed Orion, It's a common mistake for beginner hobbyist getting into new world cichlids to try and make a community tank of them. Only later do they realize that they basically created a battlefield.

New world cichlids have to be selected very carefully, much more so than Africans as they are some nasty fish.
