Ive decided to do a male 125G tank again. Lol. Wasnt planning on it but at the winter auction we brought home a few males and it took off from there. Lol. Here's a vid. Not sure if I'm gonna put a bunch more rock in or keep it minimal and see what happens. Thoughts?

Maybe a huge piece of driftwood in middle?

Great looking fish Emil, that Venustus is gonna be a beauty as it gets bigger too 8)

I would say to add a bit more rock but nothing too crazy since peacocks & haps like more open water than Mbuna. If it were me I'd probably add about double the amount of rock in there now and maybe a few small pieces of wood with some live anubias attached to them. All personal preference though.

Agree Steve. Bit more rock work look great.

I might add some more rocks...and maybe some plants. But no wood. Don't care for it.

New LED's look good Emil. And should use less power as well 8) I've been thinking about starting to switch over my tanks to LED myself and have been looking at some on ebay. You'll have to keep us updated on how you like them.
