Absolutely stunning!! For real. IMO you have the nicest Cichlid setup I've seen thus far!! I mean it!! I'm actually ripping all my Anubias out tomorrow. They've seen better days and as my Cichlid's get bigger and older there tearing them all apart. They look horrible.

Again your tank? AWESOME!! That's something to really really be proud of! Can't say enough good things about it.
