Cichlid tank REVAMPED

[Heavy]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I've had alot of questions and been fortunate enough to have great people help me out so thanks again.

As you can see I installed the Fluval 405 canister and it's running B-E-A-UTIFUL. Lol also have 2 HOB Fluval c4 5 stage filters. Added some plants and I'm waiting on some drift wood I ordered online. Please feel free to speak your mind anything and everything is taken under consideration.

Thank you guys

A lot of hard work went into this so congrats!! Your gonna want more hiding places and I wish you luck with the plants. I didn't have any luck with plants when my guys got bigger.

Thanks you boss, yeah I'm working on getting that drift wood. I order it so I'm waiting for it to come In. I went to buy some slate yesterday but Home Depot told me that they are not in yet. . But in the mean time will they be ok?

I think those would work fine. They look like decorative pavers to me.

Yeah it doesn't look natural. I mean i like it you know but whats important to me is if the fish would like it

Once I get the drift wood I guess I'll move it around a bit.
