I'm usually not all that wild about African Cichlid tanks, but the use of plants really makes it more attractive, especially in contrast to the colors of the fish themselves. Well done! :clap:

Hey, Thanks everyone!!!
The tank is actually on a pedestal in the middle of a room and is visible from all sides (although the right hand end is painted black). As such, the rock structures are freestanding along the center of the tank. The tall plants on the right of the photo hide the overflow that lets water into the sump. No hardware in the tank itself makes for clean views from both directions and nice pictures.
Cheers, Chris

These all fishes photo are so amazing and award goes to right hand. I like different colors of fishes. Mostly I like clownfish and yellow tangs but the best part is that it is inside my wall.

Great tank!!!!
I love this setup! What size tank is this and what type of rocks did you use? I'm currently cycling a 60 gallon and want to do a similar theme.

Thanks Meave (& everyone);
The tank was custom built with an overflow at one end (right side in the photo behind the plants) to allow unobstructed viewing from the 3 other sides, Plumbing for the sump and wiring for the lights to be hidden. It's about 7' long, 30" wide and 30" tall.
The tall plants are 36" Fancy Plant Giant - Bamboo. There is one on each side of the overflow. Short plants are Fancy Plant - Mat (don't remember which model).
The rock is Mexican Bowl Stone. http://www.landscapesupply.com/catalog/product.php?cat_id=694&pid=2586
Good luck with your tank!!
Chris
