Rescaped 75 Gallon

[dthoffsett]

Yesterday my Mom came over and helped me rescape my 75 gallon mbuna tank. Boy was that a pain in the butt, it came out great though. I just thought I'd share the before and after, and some random pics. Oh, I also have a holding m.callainos! The acei are working on breeding too.
Stocking: 1 female p.crabro, 4 p.acei, 6 l.caeruleus, 6 m.callainos

Before:

After:

P.crabro, sub-adult female:

Male p.acei showing breeding stripes:

P.acei

Small female m.callainos

Holding female m.callainos, sorry for the crappy pic, but she was a pain to photograph.

Alpha male m.callainos, he's the undisputed king of the tank, and has excavated himself a nice little cave that he voraciously defends.

l.caeruleus

p.crabro (upper left), l.caeruleus (lower right)

Shot of all of them in a 10 gallon holding tank yesterday while I was changing out the 75. Crappy pic, but I've never gotten them all at once.

Hope you all enjoyed.

Haven't the slightest idea what kind they are. I picked them up at my local hardware store's landscaping section. 160lbs of rock for $30.

Very nice, Im going to need to get some rocks eventually and jez they are so expensive at my lfs, I might try to find some somewhere else like a hardware store. I have a pressure washer so ill use that on them before i put them in

 

[lilmisshertz]

Much better in my opinion. They have more little places to hide! I think the fish are all stunning! I'm setting up my tank. Its going to be a commpunity tank.
Hopefully i can post some pics on here soon. Its almost done.
Oh by the way, I have blue gravel, ive been rinsing it for ages!!! Will blue still seep out of the stones for a while even if ive rinsed it for ages, and the water runs clear? If There was some dye in the tank, will the filter sort it out?

I think it looks better now, more flow-y and natural. Beautiful fish you've got

Very nice tank and fish!

I'm really interested in where u got those rocks from, was it a big chain superstore like wickes or just a one off little shop?

Thanks
