Good idea. All that yellow stuff in the water would have eventually settled but you wouldn't want that crap in your tank. The rinsing should take about an hour.

Oscars and especially pacu will not be a good choice, these guys get way too big.
This tank has lots of vertical no horizontal swimming space.
You could do lots of little fish with live plants and some cured tree root. Lots of small Amazonian fish with color. :happyfish
Just a suggestion.Moby

cichlids. Demasoni are cool but very agressive. Yellow Labs, Red Zebras, Cobalt Blue Zebras, go to cichlidforum.com, they have very good info and pictures of cichlids.
