Ok, got an update. That Retro filter from the 70/80's sounded like a 4 banger on its way out. So i found a pair of whisper 60's for free. And i currently am using 2 150 watt heaters till i can afford new stuff.
here is the tank now. lids and lights going on tomorrow hopefully.

hey looks nice man. I love those whisper power filters I dont care what anyone ever says about them filters to me they compete with any filter on the market. I have several whisper power filters one on my 55 gallon oscar tank and its been on the tank as long as I have had the fish. anyhow your setup is looking nice and a jack dempsey would be nice in there instead of the oscar

yeah, i couldnt get one of my 150watts to shut off. So then i decided not to go cheap with the heater. I am happy with the 2 whisper 60's. I am picking up 2 glass lids tomorrow for $15 each. After that i am just gonna clip a work light over the tank for a little light, and i will be done. Cycling takes too long

Nice, I have 5 juvy JD's right now in with a do jo loach and a rainbow shark. Going to wait a while and hopefully get a breeding pair. Get rid of the others. They are beautiful fish. 
Very nice stand for the price as well.

There are actually 4 cory cats in there too with him which was a little rough at first. He ate one of them about 3 times in a matter of seconds but kept spitting it out. The cory is fine, it was very strange, now he doesnt even look at them. I think he thought the cory cat was a piece of food. lol

well, not to bum anyone out, but it bummed me out. The JD escaped from the tank and died on the floor. The poor bastard jumped through a 1.5" wide hole where the filter was hanging. I didnt even think that small space would be an issue for a fish that size. Oh well, not much i can do now.
