Yeah. You know, it'd be really cool if someone set up a series of underwater web cams, so you could log on to it and watch it throughout the day. Crazy!

not a underwater web cams.....but close with picks too.

There are vids and pictures posted all over of Lake Tanganyika.... check out cichlidae.com's forum... there are members there that dive the lake with some very amazing pictures and not only of Trophs and petros!

Nice....for those that don't want to read the whole article for the answer (goode read by the way)....it states that..."Sodium (~57-64), calcium (~9.2-17.6), magnesium (~39-43), chloride (~29-37), sulfate (~7-15), with a carbonate, bicarbonate count of ~6.0-6.8."

p.s. that's found in the first article.

Yeah, I have read all three. Really nice info.

For people that haven't read the articles......the second one shows you how to make your own mix.

I wish I could find more information on Madagascar conditions.  I've found a few articles and resources, but its very limited.
