Hey everyone! Can I get some feedback on my setup? It's a 55 gallon with 16 Demasoni, 6 Labidochromis caeruleus and 3 Acei (all are juveniles). Do I have enough rockwork for the demasoni? What would you change? I'm open to any suggestions and/or advice.

(I switched from black gravel to PFS 2 days ago so that's why tank is a little cloudy)








 
do you have those glued? i'm nervous they will crash and crack the glass on you! africans are known to rearrange and i would hate to have you find out they moved stuff enough to knock those rocks over. it looks totally awesome though!
 
Tank looks REALLY good, but the way the rocks are stacked don't have much function for the fish. If you could make a bunch of caves with slate behind/in between the "towers" and have a powerhead back there to keep the crap flowing through there, that would be better. Keep the "towers" though. They look great.

Also, your Acei may get beat up a little in the long run, even though they get a good bit bigger than the demasoni.
 
That looks fantastic. I wouldn't mess with it until the fish get bigger. I wouldn't be worried about it cracking the glass either, they're all fairly small sheets.

If not a crack, at least a nice loooong scratch...:lipsseale

Unless you rip one of the supporting rocks out, there isn't one of them that will fall fast enough to scratch it. It'll be a gradual fall if anything:)

ok, my bad, a nice looooong gradual scratch...;)
 
it looks totally awesome and all im saying is if it was in my tank, it would be glued together or anchored somehow. whatever you do KEEP the cool rock formations.

It's not acrylic. It'll be fine.
