My 140 gallon Misc African tank (Update 12-27-13)

Cell phone pictures.  This tank is a little more on the aggressive side and also fish that get a little larger.

Interesting mix. Is that a standard 6' 140G tank?

Nice mix of good looking fish. What is the one right by the heater in pic #1?

Yeah, it's a 6'
18" deep.
22 or 24 tall, I forgot.

Fish by which heater?

Sorry, didn't even noticed the 2nd heater on the right side. I was asking about the black&white looking fish all the way to the left side next to that heater.

Nice tank.  How hard is that to clean?.  I have a spot where I am thinking about a tank that size as a built in room divider.  It could be seen from 2 rooms.  My brother is a carpenter and was going to have him put some finish cabinetry around it.

Tank is no harder to keep clean than a small one... just more of it.  More water to change, more glass to scrub and more gravel to syphon.  No big deal.

The fish by the heater on the left is a Livingstoni

How about the depth?  How hard is it to get to the bottom to move things around?

I have no problems.  I can touch the bottom with finger tips while I  am standing on the floor.

A little video clip since the most of the fish are moving so much, cell phone wont capture them.
