My 125g Cichlid tank |
| About Yourself: |
Got into fish as a little kid with a 10 gallon and gradually increased to 20 then 55 and now 125. Im aiming to have several large tanks in the near future. |
| Advice: |
Have good filtration and 10 hours of good powerful lighting. dont forget to add plenty of live plants to help the natural cycle and add some oxygen. I like buying the plant bulb packs for around 5 bucks you get 4-8 bulbs. they usually work pretty good. |
| Fish Kept: |
South American and African Cichlids |

15-20 live plants currently but planning to add quite a few more. |

This is my 120 Gallon African Cichlid tank. It has been in place about 5 years. It was once of the first tanks we had... now it is one of six that we have... can you say addicted?
By the way, the rating hint made in the rocks at left center was completely unintentional... |
| Advice: |
Don't overthink your aquarium. Quite often, easy works better. |

My 72 Gallon Bowfront Tank- South American/Community |
| Quote: |
"Whose leg do I have to hump to get a dry martini around here?"
— Brian Griffin from The Family Guy
|
| About Yourself: |
Brand new in the hobby, but have several friends who know the hobby, and have helped me out. Thanks for looking! |
| Advice: |
Research!!!
My tank is relatively young, and I learned from my mistakes. Until my tank was properly cycled, I did unfortunately lose a couple platys and tetras. Now, I am correctly cycled, and everyone inside is happy. |
| Fish Kept: |
3 Bolivian Rams
3 Apistogramma Cacatuoides
5 Asstd Platys
5 Otocinclus
4 Peppered Corys
1 Cardinal Tetra
2 Bamboo shrimp
15 Ghost shrimp
Believe it or not, everyone gets along 110%. I thought I would lose a few ghost shrimp, but they have not been touched.
I'm at maximum capacity, so I do 25% water changes/vacuuming every 1.5 weeks.
Feed: Flake and NLS Cichlid Formula, and freeze-dried brine shrimp every few days.
|
| Plants Kept: |
All plastic and silk. A combination of Sea Garden, Tetra Water Wonders, and Penn Plax plants.
I use Malaysian driftwood, which really accentuates the tank. |
| Tank Size: |
72 |
| Description: |
I first would like to thank the RMFT community for giving me ideas with starting this beautiful hobby. My tank decor was influenced by many of you here, so I always give credit where it's due.
My Tank:
72 Gal Bowfront
Eheim 2217 Canister Filter
Two Rio Powerheads (Rio 600 & 400)
200w Heater
Air pump w/ 3 stones
Marina brand Background
My water stays crystal clear and chemically balanced. My driftwood does lower the pH, so I have to pH Up on with water changes. I really don't like using chemicals more than I have to.
