What to add to my 75 gallon after algae disaster

So I've considered adding 3 cupid cichlids and 1 keyhole cichlid.

I added my extra penguin 350 on today.

Thoughts on this?

Why not all cupids? I have 6 in my 180 with balzani and they are beautiful fish, very hardy even thriving in cooler waters i set for the balzani

I dont think I could add more than 3-4 with my current stock in my 75.

I didnt think they were that hardy?... what temp is ur 180 at and what's ur ph?

 

[hpham]

72 in the winter and 7.5 ph

What kind of growth rate did you see?

 

[hpham]

Very slow growers, forgot when i got them but it is has been at least 2 years

I like your setup very nice. I like how you raised the lights up to have plants above your water very cool idea! Sorry no idea about algae tho I just let it grow lol
