Is that why pizza tastes so much better in NY? Lol thats why its always recommended to boil any driftwood i guess.

@ Tamtam wow that mayan structure looks sick and maybe what it is im looking for to create hiding places for my fish. Might create that instead of buying rocks. Does anyone think this is a better idea than using rocks if i recreate this and add it to the sides of the pyramid?

The calendar is made of stone. Got it on ebay. Everything else was made of styrofoam. This is my first try on a 3D background. Time consuming but particularly easy to do. I learned alot having to recreate it twice. The first time i used a silicone not compatible with fish so i had to do it all...

Should i use round rocks or those flat stones everyone seems to be using. Ive seen too some round looking cichlid rocks with holes in them as well. Ive seen some texas holy rock too which is nice but that i think wont fit too well with the theme

Thanks. Most appreciated. Do you think those cichlid rocks with wholes already in them would look good with this setup or are natural rocks better

Any suggestions on whether i should use rocks or driftwood on the sides? Its gonna be a cichlid tank so i need more hiding places for them. Is driftwood the equivalent of rocks as far as hiding places for them. Im leaning more with putting 2 nice peices of driftwood on each side of the pyramid...

Would using driftwood be equivalent to using rocks as far as hiding places?

I was thinking of rocks but i dont know if it will take away from the look of the theme. I also only have about 7 inches on each side of the pyramid for it. Ive seen some cichlid rocks for sale. What would you use? I guess i really need that for a cichlid tank huh? Any suggestions would be...

When i painted the sides black i noticed that some of the interior scrathes the tank had are now more visible. Anyway of hiding it? I was told once i fill it with water thell be lass notable. I wasnt happy at all with the scrathes standing out more with a black background. Any suggestions?

Not planning on it since cichlids love to eat then up!

Been working on this project on and off for about 2 months now. The centerpiece of the background is the mayan calendar and in front of it is a pyramid i built with two entrances and will have a nocturnal blue led bubbler inside. The calender is made of stone and the rest out of styrofoam. Ive...

I just painted the sides black and ill be using tahitian black sand as my substrate. Im thinking the dark sand along with black walls are gonna make my cichlids really pop!

Its a 75 Gallon. I only wish i would have gotten a bigger tank. I guess there never big enough huh? Lol

Hello everyone! Looking forward to sharing and getting advice about cichlids and designing my aquarium. Currently building a 3D mayan calender background with pyramid for a Malawi Cichlid tank! Cant wait to share it with you all! :)
