Thanks RDTigger & good luck with your tank!
xDetroitMetalX - Sorry about that! If you refresh the page it seems to fix the problem.
So I bought 6 new boulders to help open up the caves and they worked well. I still need to put some more greenery in there but I'm beat!
The pictures don't show all the caves naturally because some are in the back, under neath, sideways or just hidden in shadow. 1st picture is horrible but shows the caves pretty well & the last photo is just cause she was sitting still.

So what is your current stock list in the main tank...?
I am getting close to putting the pieces together on my own identical setup and have this on my list...
Just trying to put the colors together... but have been disappointed in not finding a supply of 3M Black fine sand.:huh:
How many #of THMS do you have in your 72g mystwins?

Thanks guys! As long as I have Pitbull, efors & ibr3aks approval I am happy. If Coler pops in that's a super bonus!!
Current stocklist is..... (1 male per group except acei)
4 - Lab. caeruleus (Lion's Cove I)
4 - Ps. socolofi (Albino)
2 - Ps. "Acei" (Msuli) Both males unfortuately
6 - Mel. cyaneorhabdos (Maingano)
4 - Met. estherae (OB) (OB Red Zebras)
2 - Skunk Loaches
1 - Redtail shark
1 - BN pleco
And ZERO babies! Someone loves to eat fry in this tank because hundreds of babies have been released but none survive.
I am currently growing out OBs, albino socolofi & acei (thanks to pitbull!) to add some females to my groups. I have a holding yellow lab & cyaneorhabdos separated from the main tank too.
I have 60lbs of Tahitian moon sand, I had to dig through old post to find that out though.
And I was just in Pawley's Island looking at houses for my friend! She ended up buying a house in Murrell's Inlet though.

Thanks mr.cichlid! I originally had 2 55 watt AHsupply kits on this tank for real plants but my water grows algae much better than plants so the real plants had to go. Then I broke one of the bulbs anyways so now I just use 1 55 watt 50/50 bulb centered over the tank.
Plants are all fake right now. I had a java fern in there but it was just dying so I removed it.
