(1) Venutus
(1) Male SP44 Hap. "Red Tail"
(1) Orange Leleupi
(1) Small Bushy Nose Pleco

Thanks, I've actually added a few thing to it and it looks even better. I'll make a new video soon.

I think it looks awesome. What do you keep the ph in the tank?... Is is 8.0 or more around 7.0. P.h. doesnt really mean alot in the grand scheme of things I was just wondering because I dont have cichlids.. Well not a cichlid tank. I have GBRs in a community tank but the p.h there is 7. what do you keep it at?

What do you use to test the ph etc? Is there a particular kit/brand that is best?

Do not use tabs whatever you do ... They are general (very) with liquid test you can be more precise. For my fresh water I use API FW master test kit. For my salt water I dont know what I am going to use yet. Have yet to fill the tank so no water no water test kit needed.

Yep, the API kit is pretty easy to find.

Couldn't see a lot because of my stupid slow dial-up, Ben, but what I saw looked really pretty.
