                            D- knowing what is going to go into the tank, I would say completely redo the tank and use a complete different approach to the rock work.
                            Because the male is going to want to make 2ft diameter pits, and those are not going to be possible in a tank environment with your current rock work. I know where you wanted to go with this, but in a tank environment this is not going to be possible.
                            You are going to need a lot more open area's and like a troph tank a single large rock formation in the the middle where the females can hang out at while your males can take the open area and give them the space need to build their pits which is their essential needs covered.

                              Jesper makes a really good point. If you wanted to maximize the potential of those fish, you could reverse the order of the 2262's I/O on the right hand side of the tank, keep those two outer most jets pointed up and away, and leave both ends of the tank wide open with about another inch of sand so they could make their beds.



                              That, or you could stick with the slate, but make large plateau about eight inches from the bed with the top piece on one (or either) side. Make it perfectly level, and put a bunch of sand on it. Your male might be enticed to make a bed from that pile of sand, and it will be up away from the other males/predators as they like - or so at least I've read..

                                Yeah the thing is that in nature the plateau's have already plenty of sand up there.. in a tank setup this is going to be difficult to add a TON of sand up higher because at some point its just going to all fall down.
