May I politely say, your tank looks artificial with plastic tubes and white sand. This is not a Tanganyikan biotope. Frontosas come from deep waters with rocky environment and also Altolamprologus lives in rocky habitats. Your tank is big enough for three dimensional scenery. Try real rock (real ones!) formations directly from the front glass; dramatic looking rocky canyons and rock walls and then your fish species are a part of it.
I have to agree with both the previous comments, the tank is of a very good size, the water quality looks good and the fish look spectacular. BUT (sorry) the UPVC tubes spoil it for me. It’s relatively easy to get a few descent flat rocks and shelve them on top of rocks and boulders. Be aware, the Frontosa are prolific diggers and you have to be careful that they are secure enough not to allow them to topple them over.

absolutely beautiful set-up, man. however, the big pvc fittings ruin it for me.
