Description:
Main tank is a 210 mixed Lake Malawi all male tank. At least that is what I am setting as a goal. I have some Mbuna, but trying to concentrate on haps and peacocks. I like live plants, but the cichlids like them more. I may have to switch over to artificial. I have Enheim 300w heaters, FX6 and Cascade canister filters. Sicce wavemakers, lots of coral rock, river rock, granite, mopini wood and cholla.
