I'm selling the 190g as soon as the 350g is set up. Tank, stand, 200 lbs. of pool filter stand and some rocks, durso standpipes and PVC return line go with it. The sump stays with me.

I appreciate the compliments. Thanks.:)

Very nice setup. Can't wait to see the 350 when it is done.
Any idea how much you are gonna want for that?

Probably around $500.
 
Nice group, the salvinii & motogeunse added to the group should be ok. Hopefully they make the transistion to the bigger tank without any squabbles.

Now I just need to talk my wife into it.

What are the dimensions?

60" long x 24" wide x 30" tall. 1/2" thick glass.
 
What you've accomplished is impressive, i'd like to try a stocklist much like yours one day. The 350 is hopefully gonna be sweet!

Thanks. I think they'll be fine moving based on their history. But, then again, I'm still anxious. It's the one big change that could upset the balance. But if two breeding pairs of guapotes along with everybody else in there didn't cause problems, I don't know what will.:)

And, the salvinis are still tiny at around 1 1/2" and 2". They won't go in the new tank for a while, at least until they get around 4". The mota is ready to go now. In fact, I really should've already moved her due to her aggression towards the Africans she's in with. But since I'm so close to having the new tank ready, I didn't want to have to move her twice. The extra size she'll get in the next couple of weeks before the move won't hurt either. She's in the middle of a growth spurt.

Thanks. It is impressive, and that's not ego talking. I feel a lot of what's made this successful is taking each and every variable that I can control and making them work towards my advantage by keeping the fishes "happy". The stock in my tank is what I consider to be the best looking and best personality of the SA/CA's.

The Parachromis has always been my absolute favorite of all the cichlids though. I only wish I was brave enough to add a dovii to the mix and I'd have all five together. But, I feel that would be a little too much to control. The dovii's reputation is just a little too crazy for me to risk it. My compromise is going to end up being a male grammodes (aka mini dovii) or two. That is, when I can find one reasonably priced local.
