Super nice! You are one of few hobbyists that keep tank busters in biotope tanks with plants. I’m learning how to keep plants with cichlid and borrow inspiration from you.

Still not clear how many show tanks you have. The top pics are your 600, and bottom pic is your 110 riparian. You still have a 280 and a 150, right?

Thank you Andrew.

I have the other tanks still. The 150 is undergoing a refresh with a bunch of new equipment on order. This setup is going to be a high tech planted Riparium with SA cichlids. The 280 is going a minor stocking change as well. More to come.

Unbelievable! Being in a room with tanks like that is an experience of a lifetime. Those tanks would do justice to a public aquarium where thousands of people could see them. Maybe a local library or museum would let you set up a display tank there. (If you can train someone to feed them and watch over it)

Outstanding work!

Couple of pics from my 110 Riparium housing Ivanocara Adoketa and Crenicichla Orinoco Dwarf. This has been a fun build so far. Low tech and relatively low maintenance.
