[taylorwigg22]

[pipperoooo]

Excellent rock design. They must love it! Very nice. One of my favorites.

[sweetp7432]

your coral is awesome!! I bet it cost a good bit. I have some babies myself..check out my vids. But I am pretty new at this whole thing (including youtube)...so be nice :D lol

[Zincubus]

Plecs will keep the rocks clean looking !

[rajanchana86]

nice set up. how do you keep the ocean rocks soo clean, ive got the same set up but the rocks have gone slightly green and brown, got any tips for cleaning them?

[9winDuDown9]

Get a uv steralizer install it take your rocks out and with a scrub brush scrub the shit out of them.

[bashie1234]

how many kg of rock you got in your tank?

[9winDuDown9]

That's about 50lbs of rock in there.

[ooTiago]

beautiful tank mate. i love how your ocean rock stays white. i have a juwel 450 tank and about 80kgs of ocean rock, so its a pain in the arse trying to keep them white. i just thrown in a bunch of plecs and apple snails hoping they do the jet wash 4 me

[DGKDecks]

[magsfan81]

nice tank mate started one myself this week with all babys . just wondering how long does it take for their colours to show and how many would you keep in a tank 3ft by 1 ft ill post a vid if you need to see it . cheers pal

[rchana86]

yo bruv very nice setup. ive currently got a very similar setup but the only problem is yours looks better. my ocean rocks go green after two wks once ive cleaned them, how do you keeps yours white and clean?

[mvirishbabe10]

I got some cichlids last year and I had four of them and i swear i couldn't keep them alive for very long, the kept dying...

[tutor4011]

bit harder to keep the normal fish i suppose just keep trying mate, keep the water hard that helps loads. good luck

[Jamese3]

check your ammonia and nitrate levels and the water ph which should be about at and have your tempurature at about 24-27 oC

Hey I got a question about wldcrd's comment. Isn't it true that some cichlids eat alge off the rocks? Wouldn't it be better not to add a sucking cat or pleco and just let the cichlids take care of it?

[tutor4011]

your not wrong. these fish do eat alge off the rocks but not as to keep them clean for the show side of this set up the rock i jet wash to get them back to white and the fish have a pellot glea diet. i have a cat fish but a sucker fish would starve in there i think. thanks for comment

[tutor4011]

[wldcrd26]

[tutor4011]

thankyou. i will do that.

[wldcrd26]

for your fish tank get yourself a albino sucking catfish it will make your algea cleaning way easyer

[tutor4011]

cant thank you enough.. iv been alover and asked as many people as places for a cirtain fish that can live in and clean this malawi set up.

[tutor4011]

its rearranged now

[toolshed333]

Very nice tank. How do you keep the glass clean? I always use snails or small rubberlip plecos in my tank, but I don't think cichlids would get along with them. Just curious.

[tutor4011]

they have thier own sponge and 1nc a week i do a full clean out with a partial water change about 30%, i rearange the rocks so that no territories are formed and i also jet wash the rocks before putting them back in to take the algea off(the color brown does not suit this tank) its a chew at times but worth it for me.

[tutor4011]

i love my cichlids

[maynardwix]

very nice tank, i like the rock pile, pleanty of nooks for them to hide. good job.

[cowmadnes]

lee u put a lot of hard work in to that,very proud of u.love pee
