75 gallon south/central american cichlid tank

LOOK AT MY VIDEO RESPONSE TO SE AN UPDATED VIDEO OF THE TANK! fresh setup, its a little cloudy because my driftwood is bleeding into the water (i bought some organic absorbtion resin to handle this). bassically im tryna crowd this american cichlid tank like you would an african cichlid tank. hope it works!

Cichlids in this tank - salvini, firemouth, texas, jaguar, jack dempsey, green terr, turqoise jewel, red jewel, bleekeri

others - green spotted puffer, standard pleco, hi fin spotted pleco, king spot botia

setup - sand substrate, egg rock, coral(to keep ph from dropping due to drifwood) lava rok rainbow rock, slate rock, driftwood. two 70 gallon aqua clear power filters (with custom filter media) aqua clear heater, and a 4 foot 4 bulb power compact light fixture (65 watt, half bright whtie and half actinic).

I like your tank, I'm trying the same idea with South Americans in my 75. Lots of hiding places and lots of other fish to spread any aggression around.

@Necrien honestly my friend. im months down the road, and heres where i stand:

had to release the jaguar (he was the smalled when i bought him, but quickly became the largest and VERY mean)

i lost my salvini and my turqoise jewel to sum kinda disease idk wtf it was, but no meds were curing it.

with nothing left but my texas, green terror, jack dempsey, red jewel, firemouth, and bleekeri, im STILL seeing deadly agression, and my tank has became much more elaborate since this video)

@REPPINTHATBAY408 a pretty effective tool for scraping glass (i use razor blades now) dropped it in there, didnt bother to pull it out till the enxt time i cleaned the glass
