Picking up 4 Electric Yellows and 4 Mpangas within the next week or so. Also picking up a sailfin pleco this weekend.
Any tips welcome, forgot most of the stuff, what would the best food for these buggers be?

Welcome to the forum! Once you've got the tank settled we would love to see some photos.
The other guys can answer the best food for them all though.
I think Cucumber is good source of food for the pleco too. You just slice off a peice, stick a heavy weight to it (teaspoon works) and sink it down to the fishy.

i like to tie a fishing line onto my knifes i use to sink pleco food (dont tell anyone but i stole 2 stainless butter knifes) and cut them in half and drilled a hole in them now i just grab the fishing line to pull it out instead of having to fish around in the tank with a net
idk if a sailfin will fit in a 3 ft from what ive read they grow up to 2 foot?

Unfortunately Sailfin Plecos get too large for 3 foots (max size is 60cm) However there are other possible Pleco you could get instead like Bristlenose and Peppermint Bristlenose Plecos.

Also picked up 5 yellows and 5 Ps. Mpangas, paid deposit on a breeding trio of Ps. Flavus, wanted to settle the others in before adding the flavus trio as the flavus' are a fair bit larger than the other 10.
All going well, just need a light now then I'm settled in.
Cheers
