Here are some pictures of my 75 gallon Mbuna aquarium. 







Yes, that is a big scratch in the second picture...


The fish are in my signature, +1 baliodigma.  I only have 2 elongatus mpanga now because of a case of columnaris a few months back.  2 AC110s and a tronic 150W heater.  Lighting is 2 x 6500K 28W T5NOs from a coralife fixture...a little too yellow.  I will be putting 10 000Ks in there eventually if I can ever find them.  Java ferns and anubias nana.  Pool filter sand.  Oask canopy and stand from Oceanic, along with the tank.  48"x18"x21".  Limestone from a secret source. 

These fish will be moving to a 150 gallon once some things end up in my mailbox.  Does anyone know where I can find gutters that are simple shapes like |__|, with no crown moulding shape to them?

BA sells the 10,000k T5NO bulbs for around $20 each, too bad about loosing the elongatus mpanga but the rest of your fish still look great, tanks looks good too

Thanks sniggir, darkdep and jello...

The fish staring out is a Pseudotropheus elongatus 'Mpanga', but the one staring to the side who is more pronounced is a Pseudotropheus sp. 'Deep Magunga'.  There are Deep Tanzania's at BA, but good luck getting your hands on one of these.  I bought them 3 or 4 years ago and haven't seen them since.

Thanks for the heads up...$20 for a light bulb... :P

That's a very pretty fish; I'll have to keep my eye out for those.
