Nice looking tank. Looks more suited to tangs or Malawi then Americans.

Oscars are prone to hole in the head if kept in high ph. Have you thought bout using river stones instead of limestone.

Ah ok well lve had it in there with them for 2 years, and l do a water change every second week and dump half the water. could this posibly be why they havnt dropped eggs? They liplock, push there gills out, tailslap eachother and both dig a big hole in the sand together but thats about it, no eggs have been layed.

way too high mate. tank looks nice, but you would be better off gradually dropping the pH. I would take Bowdy's advice and replace the limestone with something like river stones.
