So this is my new tank. I just recently finished demolishing a hole in the wall that separates my kitchen/dining room from my family room (aka "the blue room") in the void a placed this 210 gallon tank. There is a granite sitting bar on one side where the tank fits flush with the wall. On the other side it rests on a modified and re-furbished vanity cabinet.
I wanted to show off my hard work and also take any suggestions as I am a relatively new fish keeping enthusiast.
I designed to hold south/central cichlids mostly. In it right now are:
School of roselines
School of loaches
4 eartheaters
1 Honduran red point
2 Red Tiger Motas (courtesy of CrimsonFog)
1 ghost knife
1 pleco
These fish are all juvenile and as they grow I intend to thin the tank out.
The root structure you can see is composed of African root and manzanita wood. A few plastic plants, and a few live plants including one Anthurium which is attached above the tank on a piece of manzanita with its roots spreading into the water.
Which fish are you planning to keep in there long term? Only thing that would outgrow that tank is the knife. The Roselines will be food sooner or later though, lol.
