sweet collection and it looks like it's pretty nice. I bet you will upgrade in a couple years anyways. I said a 29 would be enough...then I said a 75 would be enough... now I am buying a bigger tank for my cichlids tomorrow.

I added my acans, micros, yumas and my Tyree undata and superman monti. Oops almost forgot my watermelon chalice. All is well. I have a pair of bangii cardnials a F.Perc, a trio of chromis, 9 Bartlett Anthias a mystery wrasse, and a long fin goby shrimp pair. I cant seem to get my camera to work, i'm hoping that it is just the batteries so I ordered new rechargable monster ones. Once I get them and if they work ill have new pics. As of now my KZ is pulling out BLACK tar. And the ATB is producing no skimate in the cup. All else is well

I love tank build threads! It has come a long way and looks great. I really like th rock work. Did you use Acrylic rods to but the rock together?
