Hey guys,

I haven't been very active on these forums. Figured I'd give a brief run down of what I'm working with.

This is one of my two tanks. It's a 55 Gallon Lake Malawi/Mbuna African Cichlid setup.



I built the stand and hood myself. I have it setup with the light switches on the side, so there is no messing around with anything under the hood. I built it extra tall, it's about 6 feet high total, so people wouldn't be bending over to see the fish.

Inside, I have the following:
-3 Blue Johannis
-1 Albino Brichardi
-1 Bumble Bee
-2 Cobalt Blue Zebras
-3 Red Zebras
-4 Yellow Labs
-2 Rusty Cichlids
-1 Marlieri
-1 Hybrid (Oops!)
-1 Baby (Unknown Pair, I believe it's a Rusty though based on color)

I also have a common pleco and a bristlenose pleco in there.

I'm running a Fluval FX5 Filter (overkill for a 55 gallon). I wired up two, white, LED, puck lights for a night light. It adds a nice, subtle light to the tank with the natural shimmering effect on the rocks and sand. I'm using a play sand substrate, and pennsylvania fieldstone for the rocks. I usually keep my water temperature around 78 to 80 degrees. Lemme know what you think. I posted 2 videos of the tank below...one of the tank with the standard lights on, and one with the night light.




Kind of hard to film and see! Sorry!

Comments welcome. Lemme know what you think!

Thats pretty cool. Has a very very clean look to it, not my style but that looks really good. The nightlight look is pretty neat too.

Very nice n the led night light is cool
