Just bought a new 75 gal tank
Going to plant it heavily and begin the cycle process once light and stand show up
Have a new FX6 to keep it clean

My thought is to stuff it full of a variety of rainbowfish
Thinking 6 Boesemani, 6 Turquoise, 6 Goyder River, and potentially 6 Yellow (herbertaxelrodi)

Thoughts?

Tank will be full and I may have to move some to a new tank eventually, but think it will be a pretty amazing fish tank

Probably be fine, I would hold on the plants till the tank is cycled though.    The FX6 should work well on that for sure, I have two on a 240 gal and clean them guessing every 2 months or so.  Good luck with it!    No idea on your fish though, I have about 30 Rainbow Tropheus  in mine.  


  Video is ten years old and they are still going strong, lose a few here and there though for various reasons.

Leave some swimming room for them.  Be sure to get at least one female of each so the males show off their best colors.
