Looks nice.
Can we get a whole tank shot, please?

Will post more pix off my regular camera.  My cell phone died (it doesn't swim evidently).

That seems to be a common fault with modern appliances.
Looking forward to more photos.

Just curious, why'd you go with gravel?  You're missing half the fun of africans, the sand sifting part.

I put sand in one tank and hate it.  Shows all the fish poop.  The fish can move this around too.  They have excavated areas under the rock 1-2 inches deep and 4-6 inches wide.

Here are a couple more pix.

You can really see how big it is with the chairs and everything for scale.

Thanks.  Will post more pix when the fish start coloring up again.  They are a little scared now from the move.

That looks bad a$$. IMO it would look cool if you did a wrap for the pillars outside of the tank to look like the rock work you made for the inside. Thats just what I would do. Make it look like the fish were "in the room." Love the location.

The fish are starting to get used to the new digs.
