I'm only new to this game (4 months). Thought I would never get through the new-tank phase (algae and all) but as you can see perseverance pays off. Patience and attention to detail certainly helps.

My 40 gallon planted freshwater aquarium. I only discovered Takashi Amano after I started. Next time I'll try something in his style. Not a bad first effort though :-)

Advice:
If in doubt leave it out!
Research, Research, Research before buying any new fish, ensure that they are 100% compatible with your planned stock.
Oh and if you own or are planning on buying a Ropefish/Reedfish, DO NOT underestimate these guys, DO NOT leave any tiny gap in the lid no matter how small, plug up every gap. Master escape artists is an understantement! You have been warned!
Description:
90 gallon wider that it is tall as
it was originally home to 6 axolotls
and floor space was more important
than water depth. Sand substrate,
extreme low light.
It is now a planted african river
biotope tank. (yeah I know java fern
isnt african)
All fish are African riverine
species including:
1 x Elephant nose,
1 x African Brown Knife Fish,
6 x Featherfin Synodontis Catfish,
2 x Upsidedown Catfish,
2 x Kribensis,
2 x Spotted African Climbing Perch,
19 x Congo Tetras,
2 x African Butterfly Fish.
Plants are all low light species:
Java Fern, Anubias, Vallis.
Tech:
LIGHTING:Very low tech, 1 x 40w
Hagen Auaglo flourescent and 1 x 24w
Actinic blue moon light for night
time viewing. Its a miracle that any
plants grow hence why I have had to
sacrifice a "true" African biotope
by using Java Fern as it is one of
the only plants to survive such low
light conditions.
FILTRATION: Fluval 304 external
cannister filter and Fluval U4
internal filter.
HEATING: 2 x Interpet 350w
submersible heaters.
Dosing: None, except the addition of
black water extract to darken and
condition the water during water
change.

About Yourself:
Kept community tanks for over 10 years before finally switching to a Malawi setup.
Fish Kept:
Blue Cobalts, Yellow Labs, Rustys, and more to come. Also keeping bristlenose pleco and synodontis catfish.
Corals/Plants:
Assorted Anubis. Jungle Vallis, and various Swords. Assorted volcanic rock with sand substrate and a large manzanita branch.
Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
For those considering starting an African Cichlid tank: Do your research, lots and lots of it. Expect a few hiccups, as that is just part of the game. It's imperative that you get the male/female ratio correct with each species (for Mbuna it's 1 male for every 4 females). It can take time to get this ratio correct, as the best way to stock is by buying unsexed juveniles and letting them grow up together until you can spot males vs females. I actually convinced a fish keeping friend of mine to start a Malawi tank so that I could give any fish I needed to get rid of to him. Made it much easier.
Also, Mbuna love rocks to hide in, but if you are starting with juveniles it's best to keep the tank somewhat bare until you get your ratios correct, unless you don't mind removing everything whenever you need to remove a fish from the tank. They can be hard to catch lol. If you have aggression in the tank due to improper ratios, that leads to illness and death. Which brings me to the most important thing, medication. Order a large amount online (you can get it in powder form, in jugs) to keep on-hand in case illness pops up in the tank. I learned this the hard way. They did not have the medication anywhere near me in town, so I had to order it. I ended up having a full wipe in the tank and had to start over. Now I keep a jug of the stuff always.
Side-note: To anyone just starting out, check craigslist for tank setups. My 125 was purchased this way from a gentleman who was moving. It was fully set up with everything, stand, canopy, and all necessary equipment. Got it for $200! So,,, obviously a super deal compared to buying new.
