I have decided to Put the EBJDs aside for the time being and concentrate on a few new things. I will be getting another 75g soon to put them in. I have plans to Attempt to breed Amphilophus festae in the 125. The tank had a bunch of blue/black sand,rock, and flower pots. I plan on driftwood and a different colored substrate (don't know yet). Anyways as it progresses I will Post pics. For now this is the tank and the new driftwood i got today.

The driftwood is 4'x2'x2'. It wont fit in the 125. I have to trim it up and soak it. I need to get a sawzall and start the process

Well Its still floating after one week. I went to Home Depot and got some stainless steel bolts and nuts to anchor it down if it don't sink before a month. The water has cleared up better then it ever has.
