My Setup

Heres my tank setup:




1) 200 gallon ish* tank
2) 55 gallons


The tanks all share water in a unusual sump setup, 1500 watt heater controlled by a thermocouple and underground circulation system for cooling. semiautomatic water changes with irrigation timeclock. at some point ill make it fully automatic but i would need to drill one more hole in a tank.

All this is intended for breading Texas Cichlids.


As I said before, Great site. everyone's friendly and knowledgeable. Keep up the good work.

Hello and Welcome to the USAfishbox!!! Lots of nice
people here!! Enjoy yourself!!

Great looking tanks I have been looking for a 200G just like that one! perfect display tanks!

thanks,

Yea, the 200 is a great tank. the only trouble with it is you have to get your shoulder wet to barely reach the bottom

like 4 inches shorter and 1 foot wider would be amazing

That is a really good point. The way my 125 is setup the canopy makes it hard to get into the bottom without using a chair haha... O well not all that bad

yea, to really get in there and move a big rock or something i need a chair for sure. If im going to do any major remodeling I usually just let out about 50 gallons and go to town on the rocks

Texas cichlid being Carpintis and if so which one.I have a 10" male Chiarel and a 6"male Vontehillo

They are Herichthys cyanoguttatus, I have one blue and a flowerhorn as well

Very cool bro I breed flowerhorns.I have a huge headed male that is fertile.

thanks, thats cool. I have the flowerhorn in with a slightly larger male that I got out of barton creek. they seem paired but Im not gonna jinx it just yet =)
