My 3ft Malawi Cichlid Tank

[sherchoo]

After 12 years of absence in the aquarium hobby, I decided start an aquarium but this time I had gone for a Cichlid setup (previously a planted tank). Found Malawi Cichlids very attractive and fell in love with them almost immediately. After much debate with the wife, we decided (not exactly "we" but can't win everything) to get a 3ft tank.

Finally got my tank from the good people from Clementi Florist and started setting up my tank. I used coral sand and black rocks (can't believe rocks cn be so expensive).

Water was cloudy, which was totally expected. Threw in some tank conditioner to speed up the cycling period.
