       South American Cichlid tank setup

       My name is Ronnie. Watched just about every KGTropicals video on
       youtube and wanted to ask my question here because I like John.
       I have a 75 gallon bow front rr aquarium with a 20 gallon sump.
       I am converting it to freshwater. I know, I know.......my wife
       and I are having a baby and salt is just too much to keep up
       with. I am wanting to set it up for South American cichlids.
       few questions.
       1. I am making the sump a refugium and am wondering if that is
       going to be enough filtration. I know it was great for my
       saltwater, but not sure exactly how well it works for
       freshwater.
       2. How many South American cichlids might I be able to put in
       this tank?
       3. Will I need anything more as far as filtration goes? I've
       read mixed reviews so would like to know what rel people might
       say about it.
       Thanks for your time.
