i traded a car amp medium sized.and a car radio for a full wood stand and canopy and solid glass tank with sump all pumps and what not.the guy used it as a fresh but the guy he bought it from used as salt.im SOOOOO HAPPY WHAT A SCORE!
pics are from this morning when me and 3 other people finally got it in my house. this thing is a monster tank alone weights 300 lbs!






finally set it up after 3 hrs.took 2 of my other tanks and combined then together.

Why is there a giant bucket in there? It takes a lot away visually from the tank? Is there no way to use some rocks and slate or something to make it look more visually appealing and create a big cave (which is what I assume the bucket is there for).

I noticed the bucket in his other tank :lol: its the big fish's house so he would miss it if it was gone. Tanks coming along nicely imo just needs some height to the aqua scape - maybe a nice driftwood branch going up?

Great steal! The second stump decoration, I have the same one!!
Maybe you could paint, or 3d decorate the bucket to look like another stump?
You have beautiful fish!

well i want a nice chunk of drift wood in it.maybe cover the pale in some natural rock like a massive cave then a bunch of other imagine parts using flat rock and stuff.o the wonders of craigslist.see what some people dont kno is, when you use the search bar on the left just put in tank and it searches all the categories in stead of just pet or for sale.
What type of cichlid?
the big one?cause they are almost all ciclids lol.
