Hello;

I have been keeping aquariums for most of my life and recently have been looking into a new 125 gallon Mbuna tank. I have 4 aquariums today: 125, 90, 45 and a 20h (gallons)

The 45 gal is an asian themed tank with gold barbs, weather loaches, a paradise fish and an angel ( the only reason the angel is in there he won't get along with the other angel I have anymore) -- I wanted to make it sub-tropical

In the 90 gal planted south american themed tank are tetras, coreys, guppies, a pleco, some german blue rams and my other angel.

In the extra 20 gallon I have some guppies right now. And some anubis.

I had a bad black beard algae issue and have been trying several things to get rid if it. Last tried hydrogen peroxide and it killed the algae but also the anubis too.

My current project is a 125 gallon (craigslist special) that I am to stocking with African Cichlids (Mbuna ). I purchased most of the rocks from Universal Rocks because of my previous experience with large rocks in a glass aquarium. I know the weight is ok but moving things around made me nervous and having artificial rocks gives me peace of mind.

Started with this list from KGTropicals:


  • Labodochromis Caeuleus
  • Pseudotropheus Acei
  • Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos Maingano
  • Pseudotropheus socolofi Regular and Snow White (6" 1M 4F)
  • Labidochromis sp. “Hongi”

There is so much more information out there on the internet today than when I started with africans back in the 80's.

I do have a youtube channel and most of my logins are related to ziurcs for gmail, Facebook, twitter.
That is scruiz backwards - which was my old handle but it was taken on the other sites so I just put it backwards and seems to work everywhere.

This is my 90 gallon with my new LED light (which I have since taken off to use on the 125) replaced with my T5 craigslist purchase.
