J,
As I mentioned before, size not the best but quality is spot on.
I love how much "pop" these fish have.
Hope they do well for you.

very nice......I'm sure the trophs appreciate your good work and going overboard on the filtration as well..... :)

Finally hooked up the wet dry. Wouldn't fit through the doors, so JandJ and I broke the tank down and dropped it in through the top Friday night. For those who are wondering it's a Pro Clear 200,  Mag 12 pump and a 200W Heater. I still need to move both overflows to one side.

Enjoy!

Update 5/31

Hooked up the FX5 and moved the overflow boxes to one side. Still thinking about adding a Koralia 4 down low on the side. I'm currently at 2150 gph with a turnover rate of 14.3!

Let me just say, that was a FUN night! Wet sand and a heavy tank, Yesssss... 8O
J/k

The tank looks great and the tank inhabitants obviously could tell there was a difference.
Much perkier and more active.
It's good to go overboard with cichlids, mimicking their well oxygenated home back in the Lake.

Yet another re-scape







I'm about to change up the rock type here within the next few weeks. I've got a particular scape in mind..

Also currently working on setting up a sand dweller/cyp tank.

Thanks for looking!

Re: 150G Tanganyikan - Updated 8/11

Pics are working but it looks like you have less fish now and the water is super cloudy.
