I've been reading the forum for a while trying to gather as much info as possible to start my first Malawi tank. I finally decided to take the plunge and thought I should set up journal so I could get some help as it progresses. Bit late of the mark in setting up this journal but here is where I'm at.
Tank is up and running:
Filled

Equipment on Tank:
- Eheim 2217 Cannister Filter
- Jager 150 Watt Heater
- Heato 48" Single T5
- Schego Air Pump (with two air stones)
The tank is FINALLY cycled

Gonna get the goldies out this weekend and dive into cichlid territory. I am a bit confused though because originally I was gonna have a strictly Malawi tank but while waiting for the tank to cycle I have grown fond of some Tangs, specifically Tropheus

Cheers for reading and sorry for the dodgy pics (phone cam). Let me know what you think!
