This, like a 300-500g. Especially with a pacu. Even a 500g might not be enough. I would do some research before buying fish.

LOL, I knew sooner or later, I would get some critics, but it is to be expected and I can appreciate it because it would be very helpful for a beginner, but I am no beginner, I know how big the pacu gets.
The Pacu isn't a permanent keeper. He will be going to my friend Marc who has a 500 gallon tank maybe as soon as Friday, I haven't decided when to rehome him. That is the only reason I bought the pacu. We were at the store, we saw the pacu and he said he wanted a pacu but couldn't find a big one. I said well I can grow one out, since I enjoy raising pacu, thus there is this one.
To be honest, I was thinking of keeping him till he hits a foot or so but we will see.
The gold clown knife will also require a big tank, but their growth rate is not as fast as the pacu thank god!
The other fish will be fine in the 150 gallon.

Let me know when you decide to sell those Geo's

Well, I went to look at the tank and possibly got it. I was not told it was a drilled reef tank. No sump he sold it, so basically it was going to cost me more money to buy the tank and then get a sump. I just went ahead and ordered a brand new fish tank from my LFS, a 6 ft 180 gallon, should be here anytime soon.
