80 gallon Acrylic LFS Display project

[Mr.Manaconda]

Picked up this Acrylic store display. Figured I might use it as a small single species breeding setup. Got any ideas for stock? Cool projects? I like C & S.A. Cichlids, maybe Dwarf Cichlids or some Angels...But wouldn't mind getting away from what I have experience with...What would you do?

Dimensions

Upper tank: 36"L x 12"W x 16"H divided in three sections (approx 30 gal)

Lower tank: 36"L x 12"W x 16"H divided in half (approx 50 gal)

All Plumbed to 30 gallon sump (120 gal total volume)

Personally, I would use this as an african cichlid breeding center/grow out - but that is just me.

Id love that for some discus breeding

Thanks! At this point I'm open to all ideas

@wrslrcichlid: What Africans would you select for that volume system? Enough room for smaller Peacocks?

@LukeOscar: I was thinking this was not enough space for Discus...If it is, I was thinking maybe Uaru! Similar husbandry to discus. Would you use the smaller sections for the breeding pair and the bottom for grow out or vice versa?

Agreed on the Discus breeding
