Nice! How much volume did you loae with putting them in? (it could affect your dosing of meds if you ever needed to).

soul, rbishop means that so much rocks gives you alot of water displacement so say instead of 55g of water you might have 48g. So when treating with meds/salt/whatever, you will have to go with the lower gallon value as not to overdose.

tank looks awesome though. Big baller with the rimless lol

thanks still something missing there not to sure what it is though will work it out in the next few weeks (or several trips to the lfs) haha

would my cichlids still be ok if i put some moss in there?? they tear up every plant i put in there but i have never thought to try some moss (till now)

The only plants you can try are anubias and Java ferns.

i am a little concerned with that rock that is leaning on the glass, but i dont usually like it when heavy decor is touching the side of the tank.

other than that, i like the look!

not to sure what type of tank it is but yes it did come rimless :)

and that rock is JUST touching the side most of the weight is on the ship :)

don't know if anyone has noticed but when i was getting the rocks i found one that NEARLY looks like a fish head (top right hand corner)

or maybe i just have a vivid imagination hahahaha


thanks for all the comments

will post some pics of my other 55G next to it after i have planted some more plants next week (you can just see the corner of it in the left of these pics)
