Not true at all...ADG will be selling them, probably already can.

ADG got some serious pull now. Takishi hooking them up. I take back my comment. Until now I think Van had the only one here.

Thanks for the comments guys! I was going to be a planted tank but I wanted something a little more low maintenance.

Final Stocklist:
6x mixed sex Wild Group Paracyprichromis nigripinnis Kapembwa
1 Wild Breeding Pair Eret. Blue Spot Zambian
6 F1 Ectodus descampsi Zambian
1x EITHER Altolamprologus compressiceps "Firefin" or Gold head comp (juvenile of course)
4x caudopunctatus

I like the rimless tank, Is there a background on there or not I cant really tell. If so what did you use? Also, What type of filter is that and I have never seen those types of intake and outtake tubes.

No background at all. Just plain white walls lol.

Added some "cycling" fish. These will be here to help cycle until I get the my order in. Thanks again to armthehomeless for the advice and taking time out to answer all my question.

Some dubs, baby calvus, cyprichromis blue orchid, one juli, couple shellies, low grade juvi fronts.

I love it! I was waiting to comment because it just looked so empty without fish, lol. But the fish swimming around in there really help to complete the scape (even though they're 'cycling fish,' the addition really helps). Very well done. :emt_thumbs:

great looking tank!

I need my cousin to come over and get some REAL pics. Tank looks much better in person. Should I add another MP10 or is this enough flow guys?

[Zebvance]

Wow Nice! DONT get to fancy with those white walls haha

[cichlid1409]

mp10 on a 50g tank should be plenty of flow. setups looking great.

Somebody hook me up with a link to some info on them

Those clear glass intake and returns are called lily pipes. Mainly used on rimless tanks for the clean non obstructive viewing. ADG or CP will have them in stock.

[screename]

yeah and those lily pipes arent cheap either. Probably gonna run out about $300 for a set.

[Zebvance]

How do you keep them clean? Wont algae grow inside of them and be a pain to keep out???

[FrontosaurusRex]

What are you gonna do with the cycling fish when you're done with em?

Its pretty easy. Just bleach them and rinse.
