nice tank my friend very nice

Thanks mate. It took a lot of convincing the wife to let me have that big tank and now that I have it all set up I want a bigger one to house the all the malawi cichlids and use this tank to start up a Tanganyikan cichlid tank. Guess I just need to brush up on my sales pitch techniques and do some smooth talking

your tank is beautiful! i am starting to plant my tank heavier. the thing i was wondering is how you vacuum the gravel when it's heavily planted. i am also using java moss and that will eventually cover some of the substrate. can't figure out how to vaccum with all the plant roots and stuff. any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

FK26- I love shell dwellers! They are so fun to watch. Best of luck with your breeding project!

giggalz and jpchin- Thank you so much for the kind words... but our aquascaping skills pale in comparison to many on this site.

jpchin- we do not need to vacuum our gravel because it is mostly sand with some fine grained gravel mixed in (CaribSea Super Naturals "peace river"- love it). Detritus does not really settle into our substrate. Basically all we have to do is hover the Python over the substrate and get the detritus stirred up a little bit, then Hoover it out.

technically wouldnt the feces and left over food act as fertilizer for the plants?

 

[severum mama]

Yes and no. You don't want an abundance present.

My tank.....

Awesome Tracie. That is 55g? What kind of lighting is on it?

I just picked up a 55g cichlid setup and was looking at upgrading the lighting.
