Been referred to this site by some mates at work when I told them of my new setup.
When I bought my house it came with an existing tank built into the bar. It's a 3m L x 700 W x 750 H 1500L tank. It has sat empty for nearly 2 years while I have been playing with many other projects including my Off-Road comp 4x4, however I finally decided that there was no time like the present to get it started and so I did.
I will be setting it up with mainly Lake Malawi Cichlids unless I get convinced otherwise. I currently have 3x Labidochromis caeruleus -Electric Yellows and 3x Metriaclima callainos -Cobolt Blues (still learing the names) all at about 40mm, I also have to help with the water and filter conditioning about 20 little blue neon tatra things and 2x Silver Sharks. I'm not expecting the neons to last when the Cichlids get bigger but they should make a few decent meals. The next fish on the list are some catfish/pleco's etc.. to help with clean up, but I'm not sure what to put in yet so no doubt you will here more from me soon.
Here is a pic of what I have so far, I haven't filled the tank completely yet as I am still adding some more limestone etc... and don't want to empty water to fit it in. just for scale my daughter is not quite 4.
Cheers
