This will be the first time I've posted a legitimate full tank shot of this thing, project took a full year to get (semi) completed but I think it was worth it. ;)

Fish stock is currently:
-Vieja maculicaua pair ("rescued" from LFS)
-Cryptoheros cutteri pair (from Cavamart)
-5 Parachromis friedrichstali "La Ceiba" (F2 from Cavamart)
-5 Vieja argentea

Last two are obviously growouts. Black belts are likely getting sold, cutteri moved to another tank, and the argentea and freddys will go in a 240 (working on that). My Cuban pair (male in avatar) will get this tank all to themselves.

Argentea (just got fed, not bloated):

Need to take some good pics of the black belts, obviously I'm not very good at taking pictures, these are all from my iPhone. Someone want to come over with a decent camera? :D

Let me know what you think, I'll do my best to answer any questions anyone might have. Thanks for all the advice and input I've gotten here, I haven't been keeping CAs that long at home (only cared for them at my old job) and it's really been helpful. If you can't tell, I've got the bug now. :D
 
Love the overall look of the tank. Awesome choice of stock and background.
 
Great tank and choice of cichlids. 3D backgrounds give tanks a more natural look when done correctly as you have. Your friend Justin (JK47) is another pro at this. I would like to see your other set ups too once you rearrange the fish. How do your fish interact? Is there much aggression?
 
I have to say it is one of the nicest looking tanks I've seen, you did an awsome job with it, it really is somthing to be proud of. Your stock looks great too, healthy and well cared for. Great job!
