My New 3 Ft

[jakeroberts]

hi

well i have recently bought a 3ft tank it holds around 180 litres
and since all i have ever had is community fish i decided to go for something different and so i ended up deciding on african cichlids

Tank: 3ft (42 us gallon)
filterhark 2 600lph plus additnional filteration
decor: java fern and 2 unknown plants, rockwork forming many caves, bits of driftwood
substrate: pea size gravel with small bag of gravel that helps rise the ph
Light:1 flourescent bulb
Ph: 7.8
temperature: 24 celcius

I like it but consider lava rock and sand, they are good for rift cichlids.
