watched about every YouTube video posted by John and Lisa, you
guys are a wealth of information and we can't thank you enough
for sharing your knowledge. Expect an order soon from us!!

Thanks Paul. Here's a shot of the tank. We used Johns guidance
to build the stand, then we covered it with wainscoting, trimmed
everything out and painted it black with satin paint. We have
two Fluval 306 canisters for filtration, a Marineland Maxi-Jet
900 for circulation, and we're using pool filter sand for the
substrate. The Cichlids seems to love everything so far and we
just love to watch them.
By the way, this is my first tank and I'm already wanting
another. I'm using my better judgment and waiting for at least
six months before I build my next one. I'm spying a 180. ;D

This is one of my favorite fish. I think he's a Blueberry OB
(Metriaclima sp. “Zebra Blue”) and I have to admit I'm kind of
partial to him because I just retired from the Army after almost
29 years. This little guy looks like he's wearing ACU's (Army
Combat Uniform) camouflage.
