My stress busting office tank

I have a 69 gal bow front aquarium in my office.  Nice to look at when you need to clear your mind.

Nice! I have the same Fluval tank in black in our living room and am really enjoying it so far. What brand are the plants in your tank?
75 Gallon Mbuna -8 Labidochromis chisumulae/Clown Labs, 4 Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei" (Msuli)/Yellow Tail Acei, 7 Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos/Maingano, 11 Pseudotropheus saulosi, 10 Synodontis petricola, 3 Ancistrus cirrhosus/Bristlenose Pleco

Very nice, really the hap.  I haven't looked into the Fluval line of aquariums.. I do like the clean lines of the trim, nice bowfront.
Does Fluval integrate anything into their tanks?

Scifisarah, Love the tank.  The plants are "Color Burst" brand.  Silk with a weight.  I got them from petsolutions.com same as the tank.  They are available other places though.

Fluval makes mini tanks, but also some larger ones.  This one has a matching stand, hood and light.  It was drilled and plumbed so all I had to do was hook up the fluval 305 which came with it.  Also had the heater.  I added water, rock, air pump, and of course fish.  I really like it.

Thanks, I really enjoy it.  I've had several 55g long, but like this better.

Thanks, I love it.  I see you are in Clio.  How long have you lived there?  I grew up there, about a million years ago.
