so I have a empty 75 gal....with a 30gal sump...looking to do a community of cichlids (central/sa) what are my options? this will be perm, no upgrades later..thanks :) btw this is my only tank so I want it to be active, no boring fish....and I do not want a single wet pet
 
Salvinis, firemouths, severum, discus rams, convicts, all could work, depends on what you like. Maybe a trio of clown loaches with 2 salvinis would be cool.

Or

I would say look at Malawian cichlids or a mixed African tank, out of my community tanks the Africans are the most fun to watch by far.
