i am in the process of fishless cycling and after 2 weeks my ph has rocketed up to around 8, and i have a water gh of 7-8. it seems to me that these paramters are high for the tropical freshwater i had planned on getting, but nice for cichlids. Specifically malawi mbuna.
i have a 55 us gal, with eheim 2213, 2 150 watt heaters, sand and some rock
are this set up and conditions ideal for malawi mbuna cichlids?
will i need any water buffering, such as salt?
would any of these species work: electric yellow lab, cobalt zebras pseudotopheus socolafi, or any others with nice coloration of some sort?
i had a decent working knowlege of tropicals, but now ive been renubified
thanks for any help
