Suggestions for amelioration of my tank.

Much better. Black paint is the best. Makes everything look so good.
 
Thanks :)
I've got 4 Yellow labs and 4 Clown Afras in it so far plys 3 synos, god these littles buggers are fun to watch.

I got a nitrike spike after I've put them in the tank though, it'd been around 2 for 16 hours, is this because of the new bioload? The tank was fully cycled.

I can't wait to get back tonight and test it again.
 
Do some water changes and keep checking the AMMONIA - RITES - RATES, Probably due to bio load, and stirring things up ..........:)
 
Will do, how much % water change should I do? At this level, probably something around 70%?

Better still, but I find the rocks to be a little too dominant on the right. Anything to diffuse that a little would be good. Redistribute them a bit, so taht they're less "organized" or tie some moss to them so that it will obscure them somewhat.

I do agree with SB. Because Yellow Labs are more of rock dwelling cichlids than open swimmers...they are Mbunas (rock dwellers)...maybe take off the top layer of the rocks and make some little openings to the middle or in front of the driftwood...other than that it looks great...alot better than the before...good job on the plants also...we have ours with little blue marbles in them, since cichlids like to uproot plants...but if ya got them secure and out of the way, then there should be no problem....and putting some plants on the rocks isn't a bad idea either...:y220e:
 
What are the readings.......
 
Ya did a fantastic job on the tank...
 
Thanks! :)

Readings: Ammonia went straight to zero after the bioload, nitrates are normal but nitrites is pretty dark, around 1 or 2.
