150 gallon freshwater tank-african cichlids |
| About Yourself: |
I am a 29 year old and have had my tank for about two years. I lost about 40 fish in a power outage after an ice storm a year ago so i had to start over only three fish survived. I am in the home repair business and ceramic tile. some one offerd me the 150 gallon tank for free so i took it and the rest is history. I have just purchased a 90 gallon tank that is still in the box and i'm lookin foward to makin it a saltwater tank once i do a little research instead of jumpin right in. |

| Description: |
My tropical freshwater tank is a custom made to order kit that I purchased from a company in France called Octopus Studios. As you can see from the picture it is a really wild design that gets a lot of wow's from friends. It measures about a metre cubed/3.3 foot cubed and holds about 230Litres/60gall. The kit is a complete setup that includes highest quality eheim filters/ lighting and aeration. |

I Changed my tank around and added lots of live plants. 90 Gallon bowfront |
| Quote: |
Keeping it all natural. |
| About Yourself: |
I work shift work at a refinery. The fish are relaxing to watch and enjoy after the work day is done. |
| Advice: |
Try not to buy entire put together kits when buying an aquarium as the componets are generally poor quality. Buy your tank separtely and upgrade in better equipment.
When going with african cichlids purchase your peacock cichlids, cats & algae eaters first and later after a couple months add your more aggresive mbuna. The mbuna may not attack the established fish in your tank but they will be very aggressive or kill new fish. Learned the hard way. |
| Fish Kept: |
25 male only african cichlids (mbunas & peacocks), 1 convict (south american), 2 catfish, 2 clown loach. |

"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it" |
| About Yourself: |
HVAC tech by day, aquarist by night. I started years ago with a 10gal tank, and grew from there.
I have many tanks ranging from 10gal-210g.
All of my fish are Malawi cichlids. These fish are gorgeous. Colors of these fish are amazing. People think they are saltwater. |
| Advice: |
Can be an expensive hobby, but doesnt have to be.
Be creative, give your fish thier own little heaven, let them live in tranquility. |
