My 75 Gallon African Cichlid Mix (One Year Later...)

[Cichlid2010]

Started to work on my new 75 Gallon Cichlid setup over the weekend. This is going to replace my current 58 gallon which is a little over crowded. I bought a second hand stand from another member and I did some work on it over the past two days. The following pictures shown my progress:

That LED fixture looks sweet!

What and how do you feed them to ensure everyone gets food?

[Cichlid2010]

I feed them a mix of 3 sizes of NLS two times a day, but I can't ensure all of them get enough food. The pellets usually gone before they even sink to the bottom. Sometimes I feed them lettice, they can probabaly get enough lettice since it can't be eaten that fast.
