My recent upgrade - from 75 Gallon to 210

[CGP]

My first post here on MFK! I recently upgraded and wanted to share! Here are the specs for my new tank.

210 Gallon – 6’x24”x29”
240lbs Eco Complete African Cichlid "Live/Active" sand
Approximately 300lbs lace rock
Koralia Magnum 8 Pump
2x Marineland C-530 Canister Filters (530GPH ea)
H.O.T Magnum HOB Canister (250GPH) from my established tank. I may swap this out in a couple of months and add an FX5 if needed. Any opinons on this?
1 Aquaclear 110 (500GPH)
2x300 watt heaters
2 Aqueon Modular LED lights + I added 2 color enhancing strips
Also using a dual T5 with a 10k and an actinic


Here is what my 75 Gallon used to look like.



Here are a couple of pics from my phone (sorry about quality) of the new 210. The first has the LED and Actinic and 10k bulb on. The 2nd has just the LEDs

Thanks everyone! I'll get a full stocking list together this weekend. I will say that some would not agree with what I am trying to mix, but I would not try it in a smaller tank. Also, I know some species may/will crossbreed, but I am not planning raising the fry and never selling or trading. I am also keeping a close eye on how everyone is getting along.

For now I will say I have a mix of Mbuna, Peacocks, and Haps...all Malawi

Mbuna include a M/F mix of Yellow Labs, Red Zebras, Red Top Zebras, Electric Blue Johanni, Blue Acei and 1 remaining Demosani from my 75 gallon (started with more a year ago...purchased very young)

Peacocks includes a M/F mix of Sunburst, 1 OB, Ruby Red (looking more orange!), Apache, and 1 species that I need to find out the name of.

Haps include a M/F mix of Taiwan Reef and Livingstonii. All juvenile. My biggest concern is the Livingstonii...I am hoping that by getting them as Juveniles it will help as they grow larger.

6 syno sailfin? Cats.
