Stocking input/suggestions please

Alright... They are ordered (for a final stocking of 4 labs, 4 blue socolofi, and Hatchet-head), they'll be a bit smaller than the 2 starter fish (by maybe 1.5ish") but they'll outnumber them and have lots of escape routes, so I think it will work out. All fish will go in the tank at the same time, and it probably won't be for a few weeks..I guess they're putting a hardwood floor in the back room, and that has to go down before the tank goes in. In the meantime the S.A.s will just have to deal with Lab #1 and Hatchet-head, and the new guys will stay in one of my spare tanks (where I'll pump them full of good food and clean water to maximize growth) until I get the call to make the 4 hour trip to come put it together. I told Mom to put the filter media in one of the canisters on the big tank to give us as quick a cycle as possible, so I should be able to show up, arrange the rocks, dump in some crushed coral, water, and prime, and it'll be go time for the fish. I think it will come together nicely. I hope. Muchas gracias!
 
Cool! We demand pics of that tank and its fishes, OK? That's all we want as our payment! :grinyes:
 
No problemo...to hold you over, here's the S.A. 135 I re-scaped for her (it was really bare before, I've been soaking the driftwood (found on a walk) for over a month in my bathtub :P) while I was down sorting this all out :). And in true fish geek fashion, I took a pic of the tank when I was done making it pretty and didn't take any of the rest of the bar....so I'll have to remember to do that as well :D

Well that tank looks nice, so I have no doubt the new tank will be even better. I can't wait to see the tank with the new fish. I have been following this thread as I am looking into having a cichlid tank right now. I am considering the Acei's, but my tank is a 29 gallon, so I can only have a few.
 
Nice tank and even more sweet the bottle of Jack Daniels on top hehehe..
 
Don't worry, me mucker Pitt! We are waiting for you in Puerto Rico; with a bottle of that sweet golden juice. :cheers:
