2 plecos -
have seeded the tank with material from the pond
will be watching the cycle with testing...
at 200gph each - i expect that having two of these is just right....

Sorry I'm not trying to beat a dead horse but I just want to make sure you are seeding the filters? And you know you will need to keep feeding them ammonia or the bacteria that are "the cycle" will die off...? I have 400 gph in a 40 gallon and feel it's barely enough but you will probably get by.

oh, no worries... thats why i asked the initial question - to get everyone's advice...
thanks for your feedback about your setup; i can add / change one or both filters in the future if needed.... the plecos are going to spending their time in there from october to april each year, so its going to be a tank for other smaller fish when they are not in there... and i have room to spare for extra filtration.
