    Hey Mike, the tank is 72 gallons.

    The rock is feather rock. I made the caves. The rocks are sharp so you will need to wear gloves while handling. As for the cichlids, they are find with it.

    I forgot the name, but i think it's a stone supplier in Coquitlam/Poco area. You can probably try the big stone supplier down on marine drive near big bend.
