Just spent a little while taking some photos of the tank and its occupants, all feedback is appreciated.

Thanks for checking it out.

very nice ! and great looking fish; I'd do some more rockwork myself, but as I said, really nice set-up

Thanks Coler. I'd add more rockwork but since I'll most likely be removing the acei, it seems best to leave as much open space and sand as possible.

Nice fish!

Thanks for the comments, and it's definitely a 40 long, lol. Same dimensions as a 55 just 4 inches shorter.

You mentioned getting rid of the Acei. Is it too aggressive?

I would leave it as open as possible personally. It looks like you have mainly Aulonocara, which are open water fish. They would probably appreciate some caves, but I don't think it's necessary. Acei seem to do better in small groups, and they would need rockwork. I liked them in Mbuna displays because they like to roam the upper levels of the tank, but you have Peacocks. I would ditch the Acei as well. I like the lighting and substrate choices. Looks great.
