Tank right now is a 5'x2'x2' with a DIY stand. Filtering is a Wet/Dry sump, Eheim Pro II, and 2 Penguin HOB filters.

Its still a WIP. I am going to upgrade to an FX5 and get rid of the 2 Penguins and the Eheim (I hate the green tubing). Ill keep the Wet/Dry running though.

Stock list going to change this week, but currently here it is:

Green Terror male- 5.5"
Green Terror female- 4"
4 Yellow Labs-3.5"
4 Cobalt Blues- 3.5"
4 Silver Dollars- 3"-4"
4 Clown Loaches- 3"
2 mystery Peacocks- 2.5"-3"

Im actually getting rid of all the Africans and will be adding a few other CA/SA Cichlids by the end of the week:

2 Geophagus Altifrons- 4"
1 Hypsophorys Nicaraguense- 5"

There are a lot of floaters because I just fed them. Sorry for the dirty looking tank.

You cant see it in the photos, but there are a lot of caves, grottos and overhangs for the fish to hide and stuff. Ill probably be cutting down the wood a bit, but we will see.

Im not really liking it yet. It will probably go though more changes in the near future as far as deco. We will see.
 
Very pretty settup. Good choice deciding to go with the CA/SA
 
Looks good. What kind of lighting do you have?
 
Thanks for the comments!

The lighting I am using are two 24" flourescent fixtures with GE Aqua Ray bulbs. Not too much light, but just enough for the look I want.
 
awesome love the woodwork
 
Cool, I'm planning on doing lighting like that on my next tank. I was thinking about maybe even doing spot lights (70 watt MH) to grow some plants in certain areas. I just like how the light is on some areas and dark in others. Nice tank ya got there.
