Hello everybody,
I have wanted to setup a cichlid tank for a while now, and i wanted to know what supplies would absolutely be needed and the initial costs for the supplies. i have read about many things that i don't know whether i should use or not. like i have heard that canister filters are good to use for cichlids, but what brand canister filter is the best? i have found an under gravel jet construction page, and i don't know if i should use this or not. can i use one of the overflow trickle filters, with a sump, or is that only with certain tanks. I am also very interested in having some live plants in the tank so what kind of plants are out there and how much are they. Please help me decide by showing me some of your tanks and giving me information on cichlids.
