    Default New 180g tank- Freshwater

    I know most of you guys are not into freshwater, but I have a softspot for Cichlids. Primarily African Malawians and South American Geophagus.

    I inherited my dads 180g tank this weekend. And short of being shy a wet dry and plumbing its good to go. It has a sweet South american background I made for him using great stuff foam and various colors of Krylon Fusion.

    If I choose to go african I will modify the back ground.

    Check it out.

    Thanks guys.

    For the comments.

    No rainbows will go in the tank, although they are nice fish

    As for the trimp i will paint it black, the stand needs a face lift in black to.

    Rob Haplachromis have always been a favorite of mine. The closest fish you can get to saltwater if you ask me. The colors are amazing.
