My friend upgraded a few weeks ago and I took his 75 off his hands. I had to build a canopy for it, and it needs to be painted and sanded still, but I'm hoping to have it all set up by this weekend.

I'm going to go with a more Tanganyikan style for the tank this time. I'm tired of trying to keep plants alive in hard water so I'm just going with Giant Vals and a few Anubias.

I'm ditching the slate and using coral rock for the hardscape, along with a few hints of driftwood. Substrate will be the same as in the 55- crushed coral, pool filter sand, and black sand. This is how it looks now:

My collection of rocks. Only nerds like us appreciate the beauty of a good piece of holey rock or coral. Found this stuff around Cape Coral, Fl.

Don't tell me you are going for the Tropheus colony tank!
