Hi I'm new too this forum but not new to keeping fish, had a reef tank for 6 years now and just sold up everything. I have decided I want a showcase cichlids tank and I'm going to go for peacock bass, I will start by telling you the size of my tank it's 6ft long 2.5ft wide and 1.5ft deep. Used to be a reef tank. It's a 148 gallon tank with a 150 litre sump underneath and 2 x 2200lph external filters attached and a 9 watt uv steriliser. Now my questions are this tank is an open top aquarium is that a bad thing ? I mean do peacock bass jump out ? As this is an ex saltwater tank I have not got a lid ? And it's only 18 inches deep will this be a problem. And I am using sand for a substrate with drift wood but I have been told to not use any decor as these fish need as much room as possible. So hope this is in the right place and thanks in advance for your help.
