They can but some variants are darker than others. If it is a black acei then he will stay very dark. Most acei are pruple. They can change color based on mood or the decore in the tank. When I had my acei with play sand they were pretty light. When I changed to black sand they got darker.

Nice tanks.
I will advise tho to keep an eye on the tank with 7 angels.. while the size of the tank is fine.
you will need to keep an eye on aggression.
they can become territorial especially true if a pair bond forms.

There's nothing keeping you from trying out rams...they do fine in "hard" water provided they're good stock and not the sickly, over-hormoned varieties from Asia. Find a local breeder and you're set.
Thanks for your comments..good good.
My blue rams are in with angels, so the hardness is 120.
The cichlids kh is 140.
GH is 60 in all my tanks.
I'm moving the large angels today to a 55g tank to hopefully breed
I have 6 blue rams now(actually, they are gold rams arent they???), I cant resist them.
Reading platytudes links, its taking me a while just to remember acid is soft and alkaline is hard.
Should I move the driftwood to the soft tanks, seeing as it helps with reducing hardness. Dont want the cichlids , and mbuna getting too soft do we?
Still trying to work out buffering, and how to keep it from dropping ph...
Its all a bit complicated.lol

Not necessarily. A solution of epsom salt in distilled water would be hard but neutral; add a tiny amount of hydrochloric acid and it would be hard and acid. Conversely, a solution of sodium hydroxide in distilled water is soft and alkaline.
It's generally true because natural waters' hardness tends to be governed by bicarbonate which also affect the pH, but it doesn't have to be so.
