I've been waiting impatiently to get my Africans a tank this size and it FINALLY happened :D
Needs a background and maybe some filtration tweaks, but here it is! YAY!

Love your tank. great rock work.  Little question for you.  There is a blue fish to the left back and a deep red behind the thermometer.  What are they??

Thanks Aquafreak2! I am in love with it  ;D
The blue one by the heater is a Yellow Tail Acei, the other blue in the left corner is a Cobalt Blue Zebra and the orange/red is a Metriaclima Estherea (red x red Zebra).

Looks great Jazz.  Love the rock work

Very nice love the plants too. rarely do you see an African tank with plants. I did and loved that tank. Great job!

Thanks guys!

Brent - I'll have to make a time when I can come pick up that cichlid from you that we've been talking about, now that I have the space!

Dan - Thanks! I love the live plants too and the cichlids really like to pick off any algae bits and play around the plants. I have a huge clump of java moss behind the rocks that they love to sleep & play in too. They're like my 'slimy' kids, lol! I love to watch them play ;D

Well I guess I will have to find myself some red x red zebra and a couple of cobalt blues as well.   I have 110 gal  that they would look great in.  If you know of anyone who has some let me know.

Thanks

Nice tank, I'm going to be setting my 90 gal cichlid tank up soon too hopefully.  Sounds like a similar stocking as well, RZ, Acei with Rusties and Saulosi for me.

freshfishies

That's great! Don't forget to post some pics :D

Thought I'd update with the background and we had to adjust the rocks on the left side.
Oh! And a new light. The other was a little too dark.
Thanks for looking! :)

Niiice ! I love that kind of rock work  8)

Is it intentional that you have no [mesh cone] (what's the word for that ?) on your filter intake ?

You must be looking at the curved output piece in the right hand corner? The intakes both have the covers.
