Updated tank pictures.

Thanks everyone.

The new lights are two 36" Coralife F/W T-5 Aqualight double strip lights. I am still using the two 36" all glass flourescent lights as well. The new light strips are 2x22w t5's. The flourescent lights are 1x25 watt. The tank is just bright enough without being too bright for the fish.

The full tank pictures were taken with no flash. Most of the individual fish shots were with flash.

Hey, what kind of fish is the one in the seventh pic down, i saw a group at a petstore once and nearly bought em and have never found out what they are and have been looking for more ever since.

Awesome tank and cichlids by the way, congrats.

Wow. Looks beautiful. Where did you get the driftwood?

I really like your selection of stone and gravel, the different gradations and color blend looks like a very natural setting. Great effect!

Thanks everyone!

musichead707 - The fish in the seventh picture is an Amphilophus Hogaboomurus (F1) from Rapps.

Spitfire - I got the driftwood from Aquabid off of a member named jackster.

macktab - Thanks. I was wanting a natural look. I am very happy with it with the exception of the fake plants and the pump for my UV sterilizer. But as far as that goes I'm more worried about them being healthy than I am about the minimal eye sore.

I think thats the Paratilapia Bleekeri.


I love your tank and choice of fish. Nice setup.

Thanks guys.

Oh, and yeah the fish in the third picture is a Bleekeri (large spot). Unfortunately the colors washed out in the picture, most of the spots are actually blue.
