Just set it up few days ago. I made the background in it with the DIY tutorials on youtube. Cichlid sand on the bottom, driftwood, and some oaklahoma stone I got form the local stone supply. Filter is from previous tank, and water inside is from the other 2 aquariums in the house, so there was no wait time. Tank is 29 gal long. Cichlids are babies so it looks like the tank is huge lol. Only other fish is going to be a clown loach.
