Out of curiousity, that looks like a pretty hefty bio-load, what kind of filtration are you running on that bad boy?

i know it sounds crazy but its not that bad ... Plumbing was nothing both canister filters off to each sides of the tank. While the other three are hanging on the back and off to the right side of the tank....sorry for the cloudy water just did a water change lol

I haven't the slightest clue at the moment on what the pH is. I can get back to you tomorrow on that. I went to the hill country (Kerrville) to get my limestone for free!! I am not from DFW area.. in Nacogdoches. Forgive me for asking but what do you mean by posting a roll call?!?!

Really jealous about the limestone, I think a paid a buck fifty a pound.... I'd guess pH to be around 7.6 which is good Smile
I'm in north plano, but would love to come see the tank live, that is if you're cool with a complete stranger driving four hours to come check out you tank lol! Being a cichlid tank keeper also, I'm definitely interested in swapping info and advice, how long have you had the tank set up?

When I say roll I was just curious of what species you had in your tank, I see a couple labs, the parrot (which is gorgeous!) and some electric blues and maybe a red empress? Seriously drooling over this tank Smile
