Looks great! Good pictures too! How do you have all of the rocks secured? When you upgrade the lighting, are you planning on having plants?

Tank looks great! Lots of hiding places. You can stock quite a few more fish in there!

Thanks! The rocks actually aren't secured (knock on wood). They are stacked fairly sturdy and I made every effort to "fall test" them by hand. Unfortunately I read a lot of horror stories AFTER I got everything going so hopefully they will be ok (knock on wood).

I would like to try a few plants once I upgrade the lighting but I've been advised that Mbuna and live plants are a tough mix. I know there are a few that should work well but I've only just begun looking into them. I definitely plan on trying though.

Will definitely be increasing the stock as well. Tank has only been up a week or so. I "insta" cycled it with media from my community tank so I'm easing in the bio load.

Want to add so Afra Cobue, Salousi, and maybe some Rusty's.
