You can never have to many fire escape lol. Do you live in condo/apartment?crystalm04 said:more like a fire escape!
No I live on the beach so my house is built on stilts in case of hurricanes and such. However it should be able to hold the 75 so as long as I distribute the weight of it on the rafters evenly. Anything bigger than id say a 125gallon I would probably have to add some support underneath but 75 gallons should be fine.LeoDiaz said:You can never have to many fire escape lol.

So a 90g should be fine if you can find one cheap.crystalm04 said:No I live on the beach so my house is built on stilts in case of hurricanes and such.

yes I was just kidding about the hole in the floor. lol but I think 75 is all I really need. that was my original game plan.LeoDiaz said:So a 90g should be fine if you can find one cheap.
I did see a 100 gallon on craigslist though.. I'm new at keeping aquariums so I don't know what it was but it looked like it had pipes and stuff on the bottom to hook up, who knows..... anyhow it looked very intimidating to me.

LOL!!!! Hope your around next week when I set mine up. I have questions as to what type of substrate is best for cichlids. I've heard they prefer none but I'd like to put something in there for looks wise. Also I'd like to know what other fish along with mbunas I may be able to put in there or am I just limited to mbunas? I've seen some type of catfish may work. Cant remember what they were called at the moment. Also what does assorted Africans mean? I've seen them at my LFS. I've researched the type of mbunas there are but I will not be able to remember all those names...... guess I can make a list when I go shopping for em just don't want to end up with something else. Hofefully my LFS will just special order me some. Oh and cycling. I've read its best to add all your mbunas at once and therefore a cycle using minnows would be best that way when you add your cichlids they just eat the minnows, therefore replacing them and you don't have a huge ammonia spike. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.LeoDiaz said:That's what I said about my 75 like 4month ago now I want a bigger tank lol.
