Mbuna / Malawi Tanks

[zephyr]

hello fellow members, a friend of mine is about to create an african cichlid tank and he needs more inspiration. i was hoping if any owners of africans can give some images of their tanks (focussing more on layout). if possible it'd b really cool.

thanks in advance

The stank is a juwel rio 300 we paid £510 but there less now we also changed one or the tubes for a moon light blue tube which are about £15.
The rock is a mix of ocean rock which was £25 for a 25kg sack, and 2 boxes of tufna rock at £44 per box.
The substrate is coral gravel which is about £23 a 25kg sack.
The bubble thing is a Hydor ario colour which are about £30

Sothe set up without fish £691.00 ouch

As for the fish:
2 yellow chromies/labs?
2 yellow tailed violets
2 golden chiclids and about 20 of there fry
2 blue ones i cant remember the name of
1 tropheus dubious
1 pleco

There isn't more than £50 worth of fish as we got 3 for a £10 on special at our lfs, the most expensive was the trophius at £15 each unfortunately we lost on to bulling
