Overfeeding causes 99% of problems in an aquarium. If in doubt - feed less! |

| 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. |

| Advice: |
Avoid impulsively purchasing fish. Do your research prior to introducing a new fish. Quarantine first if possible. Choose less aggressive and more peaceful species. |

| Description: |
Dec 05 - installed new lighting in the Canopy. I have 2 X 30wt blue actinic and 2 X 30wt Aqua Flora Plus and 1 X 30wt Color Intensifier. I played around with a variety of lamps from different manufacturers and the Quantum Aquatics "Lightning Rods" Superlux (only sold at Big Al's) were by far the best lamps. I used regular T8 electronic ballasts (32wt).
Feb 06 update: total re-aquascaping. Removed the old lava rock and went with large basalt stones. In a big tank larger stones look proportionately better.
Enjoy....
Nov 07 update: Gone full circle....went from a mixed hap/peacock/mbuna setup to an all hap/peacock setup and now we are back to a mix again, but "mostly Mbuna" of the mildy aggressive nature and the few peacocks and haps seem to have no problem with it. The key is to use only large rocks and have no caves to keep territorial aggression to a minimum. Plastic plants work for me.
Hope you enjoy it. |

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... |

Don't overthink your aquarium. Quite often, easy works better. |
