190g Lake Malawi Show Tank

[GrizzlysDad]

Here's a bunch of pics of my 190g show tank that is stocked exclusively with mbuna from Lake Malawi and some Synodontis cats.
Tank is a glass 72"x24"x25"H. Real solid wood cabinet stand; Two 400w submersible heaters; Three AquaClear 110's for filtration; Standard fluorescent aquarium lights; 250# of African Cichlid gravel; Manufactured background with Sea View adhesive; Several hundred pounds of field stone; One lone piece of Malaysian wood as a centerpiece.
I am in the planning stages of building a canopy with a DIY lighting system.
Please forgive the flash reflection..I am not much of a photographer
Oh yeah, the algae on the rocks is intentionally left alone so the fish can graze on it the way they would do in nature...it is one of my favorite things to watch them do.

WOW!!!!The tank and the fish are absolutely breathtaking. I hope you don't work, because if you do it would probably be pretty hard to leave the house.
