Nice, 180 gal should be quite the show, well done as always Eggo!!

No Ideas on background nor lighting but at the length use at least 2x 750-1000gph wave-makers from down up crossing at 20deg if your rocks allow.. this will cause a great mid break.

sorry to see this forum die.. RIP..

Large but boring... Cute kid though... Just kidding Eggo.. is the obvious internal glass for use as a sump?? or artifact of lesser storage at your LFS??

both horizontal striped are of Melanochromis origin . I'm lazy right now but suffice to say Highly aggressive, extreme upper end. .. two of the Pictured I can attest to personally, more than once. I use this Dr. best ever Cichlid link to start my ideals.. I also look up real world pics to...

Lord My First response removed. I saw Lego land and almost snaped. I Was ready to decapitate you. Yet I see the deal now. I think That was a horrible, sharp, dismal home. African Cichlids rival Chimps in intelligence, DON'T neglect nor try to fool them. They are being Mbuna by hiding in...

A 7.2 isn't horrible for the Malawi's, they could live in that and do just fine. Lake Malawi is about 7.8ish . The use of Baking soda , Epsom salt, and aquarium salt is perfectly acceptable. Take a 5 gallon bucket and experiment how much to add to reach the desired levels. With my water I...

They are capable of exiting the tank if water lvl allows , are you sure the expired inside or outside the tank?? Could have made a long trip if exited b4 succumbing , truly farther than you think. Surprised that a clawed would have left such a food source as your stock was just great fodder...

Best to be on task than on time.. it only makes scene.. life is never perfect. never seen a fish with a sun dial... gonna be 11 to 12 in that tank all the time anyway,,, not sure they care about that .. doubt they could.. my fish seem to still love me on time or not. .. :fish: :fish: :fish...

Times on a clock? disregard.. The MAIN reason to preform a change is to remove excess Nitates, And to remove excess waste seen evident form the bottom of the tank. And replenish the now missing nutrients and trace minerals from the water. The time not to mention the regularity is a self...

a 12" PLECO IN 29 GAL.. I'm assuming you already know the implications.,. Yes the amount of waste could easily overwhelm the filtration and cause toxic results to mates., Rehome!!! but you know this. so short term, .. Not much to offer this late in the game. way late to ask maybe add to...

Remember each time you do a substantial water change that the use of substrate , if exclusive towards water modification.. will require a period of time to leach to the water.. It IS NOT the same as a chemical modification , and WILL cause a swing every time.. I keep Africans, I DO modify my...

Only posting to say 6ppm ammonia = nothing but floaters, everything would be dead .. A better test is in order. Api liquid tests should be fine for you.. Dip / paper tests are horribly unreliable.

Fish sleep and don't wake right at lights on , How large is the tank? How mature is your filtration ? and how adverse are you to vacing the obvious waste out after lights on tomorrow? assuming you would even see it then? Bottom line is your likely fine unless your mid fish-in or have a tiny...

:good: :good: :good: True story!! Modifying ph, especially if trying to take it down, Even by highly experienced keepers eventually leads to some heartbreak. pushing ph up is much more forgiving but not without pitfalls. Use of a PH miracle in a bottle will get you to that heartbreak much...
