Some cichlids:
Yes I wouln't mind seeing some, never had much luck with the africans they allways bashed each other up, but I loved breading the dicus there a nice fish, but I like the original wild colours better than the new ones.
lol just finished moving a tank for a friend. lifting a 4x2x2 when ur asleep is not very fun bahaha
Yes I still want one finding them is the issue. all the ones I have seen are crap quality and if I am going to fork out a few grand on a decent size tank/pond for them I want them to look prefect. this guy is an A+ best one I have seen in all of aus so far to be honest.
debatable. All depends who you get them off and what type of fish. Discus is a bad example imo. I would be using EBJD or something over discus where they are really in line breed. Discus are only in line breed by bad breeders or to get a very intense strain which does not always result in negative way. Its been proven many times breeding fish over and over again has little effect long as you start with a good batch and dont go to over board.

No clue! I am fixing it up for him re silicone , 3D background in built filter, sump the works lol.
I believe he wants discus. I myself cant decide if its better off getting a tank for my bedroom and turning that salt water or using the 2 outside. just seems SW wont be cheap to setup and the goal was to use those 2 tanks as learning tanks but seems like a bit of a waste of $$!
Nice jardini tank also loving the rocks.
Thanks guys 
That set up had a major flaw though. There was also a short finned eel in there who used to go through the rocks at night.
It sounded like the house was being robbed everyday around 2am lol.

I've only got Africans mostly Malawi's but also have some Tanganyika species, I have two community tanks a 4ft and a custom 6ft also two grow out tanks soon to be species tanks hopefully soon I'll get around to setting up one for a group of calvus and last but not least I now have a little 2ft for a brooding female electric blue ( Sciaenochromis fryeri) I found with a mouth full of eggs last Wends..
4ft setup old pics now has a fair few more mbunas and peacocks added from a mates setup that he had to shut down.
Custom 6ft mixed setup also old pics but you get the idea..
One of the grow out tanks.. I'll get some more recent pictures up when I do a water change round this weekend.
What type of cichlids you thinking about going Africans or Americans/new world?
I see your a new member on ACE, I'll add ya.

Nice tanks venom! Loving that mixed setup. Kind of pushes me towards setting up an african tank !
Yes a friend recommended it for the classified area but I cant apply for it =( no private email or w.e, I find the site good but its very very rarely active.
Has anyone built there own cabinets? I am planning a 10x2x2 for my bedroom salt water. I have the tanks (2x 5x2x2 right next to one another) but 2 sep stands. My plan was to use a spare 7ft laying around for a sump, but this requires a custom stand and I dont want to mix the 2 tanks ( ones coral ones fake figured I can dose less just using the one) or is it safe to cut the beams in the base of the stand out? or rest a tank on them? I have no idea with all this structural stuff. I hope my insulation plans keep the sound out tanks going to be right behind my bed! Had canisters in the room before but getting a sump that silent is going to be a test.
