I use pool filter sand. I paid like $18 Aussie for 25 kg (50lb).
To keep African cichlids, keep their water clean, don't let the pH crash. Feed them good food.

Your tanks never cease to amaze me. I think you are the reason I'm setting up my new 75g as a Malawi tank. May have to pick your brain later down the road.

I have a room full of them. When they breed I do sell them when they grow up enought.

Now that's a project! Are you going to expand at this point or keep the same number of tanks? Looks like you got a bit more real estate for the tanks.

I'll be expanding, I picked up a few 2nd hand tanks and that blue second hand rack. It will really only mean i can grow out more of the current species I have.
It will be nice to have them in a purpose built room. I can build some efficiencies into the room to save time with water changes, that I couldn't do in the house.

Keep it up! I skimmed all 18 pages and saw a lot of great stuff! I am switching over to African cichlids soon and really wish I could buy your frys. Beautiful fishes as well!
Very inspiring and I am beyond excited!
