Thank you!; I finally finished building it last week actually, so it's quite new :P

Before this one I had my Mbuna in a 400L tank!;

So they are loving the new improved space to swin!  ;)

I agree the background looks great. What size is the tank? the width looks rather deep. Some nice fish there (Demasoni and Auratus) i too keep these. Some more numbers of these will spread the aggression, ideally only one male and multiple females.  :goodjob:   :welldone:

Made with flamingo and beton, something called ''Make Make'' And after I removed the flamingo and made an filter behind the background.

I have a video here, but not sure if you would understand the language :P

So you can just mute it, but it shows the way to do it!;

That background is superb mate!

I much prefer how you have set this tank up than the everyday limestone Malawi display.

Good job!

Limestone might be trickier to come upon in Denmark, of course...

Very nice setup! Tell me those plants are real? The Crypt and Balansae (I think) look like it to me.

Have you got a list of fish?
