This will be my 2nd cichlid tank, but since the first, things have changed and I want a sense of what's new in the hobby.
I will be using a 90 gal tank, a canister filter, rocks and probably crushed coral. Here are my questions:
What do you recommend for a canister filter? pros and cons? I've used the Hagen (classic) to success and don't see a reason to use another type unless someone knows something I don't - like one with easier maintainance.
I would like to use an in-line heater to keep the heater out of the tank. anyone have any problems with those?
Anyone know where I can get "good" rocks for cichlids? I want to recreate the natural environment - any websites? pics of tanks?
Any negatives to using crushed coral? Iv used it in my 55 gal and had no problems with PH. Is there anything that works even better?
Lastly - How many fish should I be looking at total? What kinds do you recomend? I'd like to have at least oe school of 6.
Thanks in advance for all your input!
