Hi all
This is my own mbuna tank at home.Gave it a bit of a makeover with some new lights and a rescape when i had to move the tank because of some shifting in the fish room
I will be thinning the population in a couple of months and will probably limit the variety too.For now just growing out the fish
As always would love to know what you think of it.

Nice tank..I feel it might be a bit over crowded. But yes, you said it, regarding the thinning of population.
With this lighting a nice group of p.demasoni would look awesome just like your frontusa tank.
I just love pseudotropheus demasoni.

Lovely tank! Actually I feel that malawis look good when they're overcrowded. It may need extra water changes, but it makes sure aggression is controlled. Lot of activity too!

I dont alter the ph.
The rocks are bought from a landscape supplier and are called lace rocks
The sand is called quartz sand.
