So as some of you may have already known, I am in the process of revamping my tank to black Tahitian sand with lots of cichlid stones. However I need help choosing what's the best yet common(easy to find) species that would accommodate 55 gallons and love caves. Be aware if any cichlids mentioned are large I will upgrade if I have to. Another question is, I really want to grow green algae in the tank on the rocks to give it the natural color. However I only have the standard Marineland led lights the kit came with. So I'm thinking of upgrading the the aquatic life dual t5 HO. Is this good and do I need a cover between the lights and the open tank? Thanks in advance please reply ASAP.
