Need help on starting african cichlid tank.

[Benfica]

I use sea salt and keep the tank nicely salted to get better color!!!They love sand or cruched coral the best or the cichlid substrate that stuff all needs a really good rinsing out though or your tank will look like milk... you planning on breeding them or gonna do an all male tank?

Thanks, i am most likely not gonna breed them so ya all males.

Thank you.
