Hello everyone!
I’m looking to create a new 225 gallon community tank and I would like to incorporate cichlids as the centerpiece into it. Dimensions will be 72"Lx24"Wx30"H
I will do either a overflow+sump or an FX6 for filtration. I would like to do the sump but don’t have experience with them, previously I used an FX4 on my 75 gallon tank. And I have an HOB on my 20 gallon and 10 gallon.
I considered getting an Oscar but that almost immediately eliminates a lot of options for a community... talk me into or out of it please lol.
I plan on using a white sand substrate with a blue background, and possibly getting some plants depending on the types of cichlids I end up getting. Otherwise there will be plenty of driftwood and or rock work.
What would your ideal stick be for a tank this size!? Please let me know so I can finish planning and use your suggestions as inspiration!
Fish I am currently considering include
Bosemani Rainbow
Angelfish
EB Acara
Oscar
Jack Dempsey
Green Terror
Severum
