I recently 'finished' my rock work on a 75 gallon, soon-to-be mbuna tank, and I would like a little commentary on how it looks. Any advice?

More rock? less rock? bigger caves? etc?

Thanks!

Here is a link to the flickr set. I will try and upload a few more full tank photos tonight.

I am currently thinking 6 Yellow Labs (2M/4F, ideally), 4-6 Yellow Tail Acei (sex depending on what I can find locally), and a colony of Demosani, 12-20,(depending on what I can get, again).

I love the look, I am just hoping that it is 'good enough' to support a nice, colorful, active tank.

I love the rocks you got... can you say jealous! where did you get them, sorry I thought you had a blue rock but it's not a rock... lol
 
I live in Iowa, and I drove to the local gravel pit and bought all the rock.

I spent 30 minutes or so climbing all over the piles they had, and hand picked the nice flat rocks I liked, and that was that.

I bought 240lbs of rock, and used most of it in the tank, the rest *might* be getting lined up in front of the tank to add a little depth.

The rocks cost less than $2 for all of them.
 
Maybe switch out the demasoni for something else there best kept in a species tank they can be really aggressive epically in groups
 
Strange. I was under the impression that demasoni are primarily conspecifically aggressive, and that large groups reduce that aggression -- spreads it out. I picked the Acei and Yellow Labs specifically due to the contrasting colors, which is nice, since that means they are not going to be the target of aggression, as much.
