Malawi Headache

[ripil]

i'm currently saving up for a 72 gallon tank. really want to keep malawis in it but dunno what sort of stock list i could keep in it. would be nice to get acei, saulosi, yellow labs, cobalt blues and ndumbi red tops in there. help? anyone donating a 300 gallon tank by any chance

Whats the dimensions of the 72?

now thats a good question mate. dunno. it only says 4 foot long. i might get a 5ft by 1.5ft by 1.5ft. depends which is best really. thanks for the reply.

4ft is fine but 5ft is even better .

the 5ft one is just the glass so its alot cheaper. the 4ft one has the stand and everything i'll just save myself 200 quid and build a stand for the 5ft one. is 18x18 not too small for the width and height? i'm hoping to use a 23x11x16 (LWD) tank as a sump tank. back to plan A then. i'm not too bad making things but fish tanks are so heavy i'm really worried. do those fish all live peacefully if overstocked well enough? thanks for all ya help mate.
