Udates pics of 240. Fish/lighting/water change

I bet you might have covered this in another thread somewhere, but I haven't seen it so here goes:
Whats up with your water chemistry? I mean, how are you addressing the different needs of the old and new world Cichlids?
Not criticizing, I think this is pretty frickin' awesome, but...well, clue me in on how to make this work.
Is it all about picking the right fish and then finding a happy medium? Is it setup as an African tank in terms of pH and gH and you just make the SA/CA adapt?
Thanks,

Matt

Yes I Have picked fish that can handle all the same general ph. Not to metion captivity bread fish all adapt to the ph levels they have been grown too. As long as it is not to extreme. As far as aggression it has kind of been a guessing game. I'll try to get generally lest aggressive and put them
In the tank and see how it goes. If I see that one fish is really picking on another I'll pull it out of the tank. But so far I haven't really had that proble
. Nobody really bullies up on one another as you can tell in the pics nobody has nipped fins. So I have gotten lucky at this point.

I'm glad to hear your tanks doing well. Am I wrong or has the Jack you have seemed to have started to look less stunted than when you had a pic in the other thread? If so thats awesome.

I agree your tank looks VERY nice, but, if I had to spend 4 hours every week cleaning my tank, I wouldn't be in the hobby. Perhaps that's why I have a single, 75 gallon tank.
