I like the African idea; it sounds pretty cool. The planted aquarium idea sounds cool too, but I am terrible with plants. I can't even keep a cactus alive lol.
Okay, I think I'm definitely going to go with some form of Cichlids unless someone comes up with something that is both awesome and do-able lol. Should I just repost this thread in the Cichlid forum? Maybe one of the moderators could move it so I don't need to repost it lol.
I checked out the stacking, and I like how it looks. The media lounge is full of ideas lol. Now I'm thinking of doing rock stacks on each end of the aquarium with scattered rocks in between. Any opinions on this layout?
Ok, I've decided on African Cichlids; I'm just not sure which ones to be exact. I think I'll get a surprise box from fishfarm to avoid compatibility issues and to get a good deal.
