That's A LOT of money swimming around in there lol, Screw what people say the tank and fish look great! What kind of filtration are you running? Gotta be good to have all those fish.

What kind of substrate is that? I'm getting a 125 in about 4 months for my Africans and I was going to do white sand...I keep hearing about using Pool filter sand, is that any good? Or will it throw my ph and ammonia off?

[illmiss]

@JGS187 Substrate is Aragonite

I hear drinking scotch is really good for cichlids.

@jolseen Because they need TLC:) Most pet shops don't know how to care for certain fish and just throw them in any tank with any fish thus making them look like poop. ;)

Now that is a beautiful tank

oh wow, i think i spotted a Venus cichlid in there? i have one and i've heard they're pretty hard to find, awesome though with their blue faces and leopard spots. Mines in with my oscars though, he's the bully. :p

[TradeMark2003]

tank looks freakin awesome dude, how do keep the algae down though? like off the rock and plants? and what kind of filtration?

[DangleNets]

You should grt some more fush your tank looks a bit empty

@JGS187 ... Not to mention extremely cheap. My local pool shop charges $10 for a 50 lb. bag.

Although I'm sure, now being 11 months later, you've already gotten your tank and picked your substrate anyway.

[seth570123]

@JGS187 Pool filter sand is comepletely inert, in other words it has no chemicals in it at all, it's JUST sand. It also won't cloud your water as much, if at all, when you add it in, unlike sand-box/ play sand will.

I wouldn't use anything white for the substrate, MY retnas are burning already simply at the thought, let alone what the poor fish would have to experience.

Sand is a nice, natural substrate, pretty much found in any 'wild' aquatic habitat, including rivers and streams.
