So I was busy yesterday and decided to get the rest of the tank up and running! when i turned the lights on i was awakened by a nice scratch that i didnt see when it was dark.
 Zoomed Up view of it   Now my tank all set up. I decided to take the bubble wall out. I thought that it made the tank look a lot cleaner. I also am going to get new rock in 2 weeks. This is all i had for right now. Its just way to small for the tank but it will work for the mean time.

I will be using the same kind of rock in the tank now except it will be a lot bigger. We have a local lake by us that they dig for rock. I can get tons of it for cheap. Last time 200 lbs for 20 dollars. Im sure it will cost a little bit more getting the bigger stuff. Which will also help hide the scratch haha.

Oh right... cool. I was going to say i like the colour of your rocks... then again i did mine, but it didnt last long. A few weeks later they were all the same colour (brown/green) with the algae growth LOL.

Here are some updated pics of the tank! everything is going great now. The Frontosa didnt make it during the shipment.. only 2 lived so i end up thinking to myself it was probably an omen or something telling me not to do them haha.
Right now Stocking list is 13 Blue dolphin Moorii 7 Nimbochromis venustus 10 Champsochromis caeruleus 6 Red Empress all of the fish are small yet...all the fish are f1.. Have had absolutely NO aggression so im thrilled atm  here are some pics.I changed the rockwork and added some bigger rocks and let me say i was scared to death.. all i could think of was dropping these rocks through the tank haha. I added some more filtration as well.

You tank is looking great! I especially like the venustus, it's so nice to see them in an appropriately sized tank.
