Fish Kept:
The fish are all young malawi cichlids, which I am growing on in this tank, with plans to move them to a larger malawi tank that I have - once they are big enough.
Corals/Plants:
The decor is a mixture of 'spaghetti rock' and artificial rubber and plastic coral, to make it look like a marine reef tank. Some of this looks surprisingly natural and moves with the flow of the water. Coral sand is used as the substrate, with a twin T5 High-Lite lighting unit (standard).
Tank Size:
42 gallons
Advice:
Try not to rush things. External filters make life so much easier. Regular water changes are essential and if you can use a hose rather than buckets, it makes things simpler.

Tank Size:
120 gallons
Advice:
Keeping and caring for fish is a wonderful experience and the joys of sucess is un-speakable. I have been in this hobby now for over five years and the best advice for me to give starting hobbyists is when starting is get the get the largest tank that you can afford as well as good filteration, for i have a total of five tanks ( 3 x 3ft and 2 x 4ft tanks). Keep good water conditions and try to keep tank setup as natural as possible. Make sure you also find a suitable supplier that you can trust in giving you quality products as well as fish. All the best to you starting off and wish you great sucess.
