Photo Caption: 180g Mbuna Aquarium

Description: 6x2x2 African Cichlid Tank. Aqua-Glo, Power-Glo & Marine-Glo. 2 x Fluval FX5 canister filters, 1500lph power head, bubble curtain at back and 2 x Jager 300w heaters. White & grey aragonite sand and ocean rock. Water changed 20-30% weekly, filter cleaned/changed once every 2 weeks.

Advice: Take your time - there is no rush. Study as much as you can on your fish. Not ALL fish can go together. Get the biggest tank you can! Good planning is all worth it in the end. I've had reef, planted and all things in between, cichlids have been the best I've kept.
