Stuffed with chichlids, babies everywhere. 150 lbs of rock and driftwood that I had found myself. A mixture of different chichlid sands. A few fake plants for color. Fluval FX5 canister filter, a 600 gph koralia powerhead for circulation. Two 48" 40w T-8 10K and Actinic for color. 3 x 50w of xenon halogen lighting, gave a nice shimmering effect.
