well i would have live plants in the sump only
i am thinking louisiana wild iris and water hycinth

i am in the process of cycling the tank now with goldfish (wich will move to the pond once tank is finished cycling)

for fish i am thinking
25-40 neons or cardnals
6 or so congo tetra
12 emperor tetra
6-8 cory cats
2 plecos (probably royal and gold nugget)
8-10 chinese butterfly suckers
4-6 glass catfish
2 redtail sharks
6-8 various gouramis

how about some thoughts on this combo or some other suggestions

thanks
