125 Gallon African Cichlid Tank |
| Advice: |
Take your time and DONT USE CHARCOAL!!!!(please read ahead as to why!!) If you decide to not use charcoal (and save a lot of $$), you MUST do at least a 30% water change at least once every other week. My tank is a little overstocked (they are African Cichlids!) and I do a 30% water change every week. They are breeding like crazy and it's the easiest tank to take care of. |

180g Mbuna Aquarium |
| Quote: |
If its not broken, don't fix it! |
| About Yourself: |
I'm a fish addict - I need help! LOL =D
|
| 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. |
