    Will my stand be strong enough for a 210 gallon?

    Support the frame in the same way as the picture. Lay the 2x4 on the bottom and directly under the top. That way its support is solid.

    EBJD tank mates?? Blue Acara?

    I have mine with some clown loaches and a bala shark. EBJD is around 5", smallest clown is about 1", bala is less than 2". The BD does not bother anything. I would not match mine up with other agressive cichlids. My other EBJD has his own tank. Good luck.

    How do you tell how old a Cichlid is?

    I have had 2 both males. 1 was 9 years old, 1 was 3 years old. The older was more curved. I lost both in the last year.

    need help building a stand for 180 gallon acrylic tank

    I used 3.5" # 8 wood screws on the the 2x4. I used 1.75" # 8 wood screws on the 1x4 strapping and 3/4" plywood. I predrilled every hole before screwing it together. I built the stand 1" longer and 1" wider than the aquarium. This gives you a little room when laying the tank in place. I built the...
