    Peacock bass get way too large for a 100 gallon tank. You would need a tank that was around 8 feet long to have a chance.

    For the SW FO that would depend on the type of fish you are looking at. Probably don't want a fish that gets over 8" in length. You could have 4 or 5 at that size if they are compatable.

    I agree. No reason to be mean to him. I think he did wrong on his other tank(s). But this is the start of something new. Hopefully(and it appears) he is trying to do things right.

    I think you may have underestimated the cost of LR. And if not ... I want to know where I can get liverock for $1 a pound.

    I would recommend following advice this time around ... a lot of responses so far are pretty cold, I think that can be avoided.

    I hope a new page has been turned, and this can be the start of something good.

    Best of Luck

    its not the gallons per fish, its their total inches into gallons. alot of those get a good size. so no that would be way overstocked. plus with a serious lack of biological filtration , only 10 lbs of LR , IMO youd be asking for trouble. plus the eel and lion fish may enjoy some expensive meals. just my 2 cents

    lol cant decide?

    discus are very cool, but are fairly hard to take care of. you could do that, and have a few smaller, more pasive fish like tetras, guppies, and certain appropriatly sized catfish.
