    Default My NEW 22gallon long tank set-up African Cichlid Fries

    Hi guys. Just wanna share my new 22 gallon long tank I just got today from
    Mykiss aka Patrick. Took me a few hours to clean the sand and transfer the fish and sand to the 22 long. Finally I'm done. It's plain looking but hopefully a few of you will like it

    2x 16" glass lids
    And a 2 footer t5 lighting system (sunblaster) with the reflector

    Thanks for looking. Glad you like it. I'm planning to put one more limestone rock to hide the left side of the heater though

    That's a sweet tank. I like the long "landscape" view. What kind of cichlids are those blue ones? How do you like keeping cichlids?

    Yes I like how the tank is long also. The blue ones are called Demasoni cichlid and the yellow one is Yellow Lab cichlid. I've been keeping African cichlid for maybe around 2- 2 1/2 years now. As soon as I started a tank, I started with african cichlids and never changed my mind even till now

    That's a really nice looking tank. The fish look very interesting. What kind of a filter do you have in there?

    I will post a photo of my 22 super long one day soon, if I can find a connector for my camera. It's amazing how different two almost identical tanks can be, once you plant them and add fish. I've got lots of plants in my tank, but the fish are so tiny you can barely see them in a pic. Completely different!

    Thank you for sharing your photos. I always feel inspired by other people's tanks.

    Nice setup Clint. Glad to see you get your new tank. Those long tanks have a great footprint.
