I've seen a lot of people posting pictures of their tanks recently and I was inspired to do the same. :P I just did a total rescape last weekend and I've been perfecting it since then. I like it quite a bit. Except for the fact it's a little dirty right now (water change day is tomorrow).
Tank Stats:

55 gallon
eheim 2028 filter
colorquartz black s-grade sand
granite stones
plastic plants

Stock:
Cynotilapia White Top Hara
Metriaclima estherae (OB)
5 Pseudotropheus Acei
1 female Metriaclima greshakei
1 Pseudotropheus demasoni
4 Synodontis petricola
Mayasian trumpet snails.


They've been reproducing a lot lately so I'm not sure of exact numbers of a couple species. I will be thinning out the numbers in a couple months.

Your tank is absolutely GORGEOUS! I thought my yellow lab species tank was nice. lol Well props to you, i guess hard work really does pay off. :)
 
Blue -

What a great looking tank. I really love the sand - might have to do that with mine, as I am trying to decide between brown and black. Nice fishies. I agree, mbuna tanks are great with all of the activity.
