Recent photo, grazed down to bare rock. 20171121_182954.jpgThe 450nm royal blues have been replaced. The far left is no fish territory. Its the dominant males private property, Notice the longer algea strands. It does not get picked at much with out a fight from Bluto, the big Daddy mbuna.

Repairing the holey hdpe, to be free standing, after the hot glue failed to bond securely. They are now bolted. I only have 3.5" to squeze things into the middle tank.

I removed, the pvc pipe, as it was a eye sore, but useful on the sort term to having 14 males to 3 females. The other males moved into the log tank.

This was a old school, high tech. Undergravel poly floss bio media, I use the floss in my mechanical filter.

Basicly I fused about 3 pounds of sand to it, so greens can take root, on a moss wall. With a built in sand water fall, airlifted. Thanks to whom posted the idea a while back.

Their can only be one. I now have all of my male pseudo trophies elongatus in the top male only tank, except Bluto, the king. After a big fight in the middle 75 gallon.

The Texas holey rock, and coral in a pile on the right side of the tank. It has been kept very short.

The fish have enjoyed the eviction of the psedo trophus elongatus, I have one male, and 2 females. I HAD 13 males with about 4 becoming dominant jerks. They were all relocated into the log tank. All male except a pair of dragons bloods.. Which seems to work.
