do it! |
| About Yourself: |
I'm fairly new to keeping African Cichlids. It took me a while to get a nice "stack" with the limited space in a 55g.
I've laid eggcrate underneath the sand to give it a more sound structure and to protect from any rock slides, from pesky diggers.
I worked really hard on it, so thanks for checking it out! |

Community of Lake Malawi Mbuna's... Mostly Zebras, Yellow Labs, Bumble Bee Cichlids, Red tops Cobalt Blues, Blue Dolphins, Auratus, Johannii and several Red Tops, Kenyi and Albinos... |
| Plants Kept: |
Substrate & Rock:
Texas Holy Rock, Tufa Rock, Lava Rock, Crushed Coral, Large Rock Gravel, and Pseudo Plants.
Strategically placed rock that creates cavernous caves and hidden travel corridors. I used Texas Holy rock & Tufa rocks that were placed on layer of large chunks of gravel, then covered with crushed coral. Cichlids love to dig, however the larger gravel supports and prevent an eager cichlid from playing contractor. |

Work in progress...
5 week old 75 Gallon Cichlids tank with 1 EMP 400, Ehiem 2028 Pro II Hydor 300 Watt Heater, Hydor Koralia 3, Hydor Ario 4, Two 48" T12 Actinic Deep Sea Bulbs and One T5 48" Colormax Full Spectrum 6700K, Coralife Titanium Ground Probe
Tons of caves and hiding spaces with corridors for behind the scene travel from cave to cave.

I tried to keep the tank as natural looking as possible. It is really hard to take a good picture of a hexagon tank. |
