great lookin tems... mine are well on their way. congrats.
lighting is definetly something that is often overlooked with many keepers trying to achieve "that look"
great job

on a side note, sort of.
do you have night time lighting? i have a small blue light that is pretty dim that i never have set up, something i should test out.
i havent seen any night lighting (so far) with cichla tanks.
any benefits (aside from "looks cool") or negatives? wonder if it differes with species?
im sure my clown knife would look unbelievable with a little night lighting

No night lighting currently.. Can't see it really hurting or helping with these guys.. I know in the salt water world it's helpful for corals and what not. Could definitely be cool to see though

i would think the golds and contrast colours would really shimmer, would be nice to see some photos if anyone does this.

Your tank and fish look great. I do the same thing with the lighting on my tanks.
