Advice:
Read Up before you do anything, learn about fish species prefered housing living conditions and environments and budget shop around theres always good products out there dont buy the first thing you see do your homework.

Description:
Semi-planted cichlid tank. Old Oceanic flat-back hex tank with simple dual fluorescent hood light. Rock is a variety of rock gathered from outside that was cleaned and boiled to prevent parasites. Filtration is an emporer filter rated to 70 gallons on one side and an extra filter rated for a 20 gallon aquarium that I threw in to help circulate water.
