·I recently finished adding plants to my new 265gallon tank. Later tonight I'm adding a few fish to start cycling it.
The rocks are all basalt or granite. The reddish one I am not sure but it is probably basalt. The sand is 3m colorquartz 'Buff' s grade, and the plants are Anubias, Java Fern, and Vallisneria. The lighting is two CF fixtures with a total of 384 watts. The plumbing is pvc with a ProClear 300 sump and a Magdrive 1800gph pump. The heaters are a 250watt stealth heater and a 200 watt stealth heater (visitherm). The background is black poster taped on the back glass.
Let me know what you guys think. The tank is going to house African Cichlids such as Malawi peacocks, Protomelas sp., Lethrinops sp., Lichnochromis acuticeps (hopefully if I ever see them for sale...), etc. Currently I do not have any caves but I am going to either make a pvc cave or eventually make a lace rock cave.
Here are the pictures:
