And got my 65 gallon back up and running, added some new rock and old fish (thankfully my friend fishsat them). So I snapped some cool pics. Still a work in progress, I want more rocks and less fake stuff.

Hey all, new to SW & Reef but been keeping Cichlids for years. After a hiatus (lots of moving etc) I've got my 65 Gal Malawi tank back up and running and just purchased a 10g Bow Front and looking to start up a nano reef. I've lurked and read a lot here, so I've come prepared. And thanks to my...

A friend of mine works at pet store here and is giving me a bunch of sand, got 1 bag so far but it's Calcium sand with pictures of reptiles on it....Is this stuff alright for Cichlids or fish in general? My tank has Kenyi, Otopharynx lithobates, Melanochromis Johannii and a Green Sunfish.

So just got 65gal for free and it came with a load of crushed coral for substrate. Is this safe to use for fw? I hear its typically used as a pH buffer. And my tap water is already pretty good for Cichlids.

I almost feel bad for this deal...Nahh. My uncle was dropping off a computer for me to fix and mentioned his friend had an aquarium for sale, $50...I figured it'd be something smaller than what I already have. 100 Gallons! Stand, 2 filters, decorations, fish and all for $50 and its even being...

Really weird, I've had this one Kenyi that was supposed to be a male, started to turn blue, but the tips of its dorsal and *cough* anal fin are yellow. After introducing female, the heshe looks as if it's turing yellow now... Could have sworn I've heard someone else experiencing this before.

Say Hi to Professor Chaos, my Green Sunfish! Had trouble identifying this one as he was purchased accidentally with feeder goldfish :\ Was told he was an "Assorted Peacock Cichlid" ...But I was never really sure on that one. Looks like I might have to buy yet ANOTHER tank. Got him in the 35 now.

Cyphotilapia frontosa Came with the tank. Apparently he received about 25 phone calls and twice as many e-mails about it, but kept his deal with me. Glad I caught this one quickly.

I'm new to all this fish business, received a 15 gal with a Kenyi + Peacock, luckily juvenile. Bought my 55 gal the other day, along with a Ehiem 2217, new heater and a crapload of new decorations and some good lights. And also got a 35 gallon as well. The strange thing, the Peacock has been...

90 gallon Aquarium with iron wraught stand for $50 all I have to do is go pick 'er up. I was totally just looking for a 55g but lucked out on this one. Now the question is what to do with it...

My friend set me up with a 15g tank with some feeder fish, turns out one was a Peacock (probably hybrid) and he also brought me a male Kenyi earlier. For now they're both quite small and have a lot of space. and more rocks. Still I'd like to get them in a 55 gallon. What all will I need? I've...

I'm a newbie, in both senses. Just got a 15 gallon the other day from my friend. He put some feeder goldfish in there, but I noticed one definitely wasn't a goldfish. Turns out it was scooped from the on hold tank and is a assorted peacock cichlid. He's been living with goldfish for 6 months...
