It's possible as long as the tank is large enough and the inhabitants are picked carefully. What is your stocking plan?

 

[allaboutfish]

how big is the tank?

 

[clekchau]

tank inhabitants will be all male 4" to 10" amphilophus, a few parachromis and various vieja species rounded the group. the footprint is 8 x 4 x 30" high, roughly 600 gallons.

Wait a second, are you on CichlidForum? Your tank looks suprisingly familiar to a 600g built thread I watched LOL.

picked up driftwood from greyhound bus station express pickup in downtown dallas, wow that was an adventure lol, came in a big box

pretty big even compared to the big tank

am i supposed to soak it or something before i put it in?

That sounds like awesome stock! Can't wait to see it when you get it all done. I'd just rinse the wood and put it in the tank. You can run carbon to pull any tannins.
