We have lost our minds!

Nice looking decor. Is that crushed coral substrate, or gravel? CC wouldn't be the best choice for SA/CAs, so I hope it is gravel. :) Good luck!
 
lol, you got it, i wont be able to keep myself from showing off! hehe
 
actually the substrate is a cichlid mix, it has broken shells and rocks in it, is that what you mean by crushed coral? the bag says cichlid mix on it.
 
no, i'm not completely sold on the jd just yet, beuatiful fish though
 
The cichlid specific substrates I've seen were all buffering substrates for African Cichlids. The shells in this mix are a goor indicator that it is going to buffer the water and increase the pH. If you are planning New World Cichlids you'll probably want something more inert.
 
Nice tank! Definitely get some Sevs!
