Hi,

Used to keep marines years ago and now getting ready to return. I kept & bred wild caught Tanganyikan cichlids and was a admin on a forum for these, I have now sold all my fish and getting ready to setup a FOWLR system in my 96x26x30 aquarium with 60x18x18 sump with 2x OR3500 return pumps. Just aquired a aquamedic shorty skimmer with 2xOR3500 pumps. Quite like the idea of a preditor tank.

At the moment just have a little aquamedic chromis nano tank running, with the std skimmer and bio wheel filter and a couple of seio pumps for extra flow.



I'm based nr Twickenham rugby stadium.

Regards,

Lee.

Hi Lee welcome to mff looks like you are ahead of most newbies as your tank looks well established.You should be able to create somthing extraodinary with your new trank

Thanks Steve,

Display tank is 26" deep, been looking at a 6x T5 80w luminaire. Although looking at a FOWLR setup wonder if that lighting would allow scope for anything more? And what spectrum tubes would you suggest?

Also anybody kept multiple types of the large angels together? read mixed reports but used to dealing with aggression with my cichlids.

Thanks.

Very nice tank. I used to keep and breed Malawi cichlids - Red Empress were my favourites
