Awesome video congratulations on the new tank could you do me one favor replace the Chicago Cubs sign to a St. Louis Cardinals sign I’m from St. Louis 😂😂
And I thought my set up was sophisticated? Wow! Beautiful! If my wife ever lets me get another set up I’m definitely gonna reference this video. Gotta get some kids out of my house to create some extra space😊

WOW my favorite cichlid setup yet by you guys 😍 I love that you have plants with them I cant wait to recreate this on a smaller scale in my 90 gallon! I just bought my first pleco a sunshine pleco I love it but he/she is only a baby still:)
Very nice tank and set-up. Now my personal opinion, with that tank and all that equipment i just go to marine , not saying nothing negative, it is only personal likes. Well done guys .
Great job! A couple questions: How much was that driftwood? (I’m looking for a similar size piece), and what kind of pleco do you have in there? He’s awesome. Thanks!
Thanks, Ben! Appreciate it. The driftwood was around $200 I believe. Tried not to look at the price tag lol. The Plecos are one king tiger and one leopard frog (L333 and L134)

I'm taking a lot of my inspiration from you for my 125 US GAL planted SA tank and thought I would drop in a suggestion on a couple of fish you might not have considered. A pair of Amatitlania Nanoluteus. Beautiful looking fish, peaceful (nothing like regular convicts) and won't eat your plants. Keep up the good work sir 😀👍
THANK YOU! I can’t believe it. I have an empty 180 from Custom Aquariums, perfect tank! I have NO IDEA how to do the sump- this really helped! Do you have a slightly more in-depth vid on these sumps? Here’s the AMAZING PART- I have been growing babies for this tank: Geo Winemilleri, reg & albino Heckelii, EBAs, & Angels FOR THIS TANK! Great minds think alike! I also bought a female Balzanii because I saw & fell in love w yours. Can you believe that?! I’m AMAZED! Thank you SO MUCH for your help! I’m not as terrified of that sump now thanks to you. (It’s my first!)
Wow...looks really nice!! I am still new to fish keeping and wondered how sump setups work so I found the sump set up demo very intersting... I just bought my first 75 gallon tank today. It is exciting. I sure hope it doesn't leak as I would guess it is not the same quality as Custom Aquariums. The plants look very nice as well.
5 electric blue acaras is cool. The Geos are real nice. I got myself a 125 gallon with an Ehiem 300W heater (heats very well). Just added Gold Saum, Jack Dempsey, Firemouth, Electric Bue Acara, Red Parrot and Albino Bichir. Hate to say it but the Bichir is kind of an experiment with the rest. I have 4 brothers and we do everything together. I guess that's why fish keeping is so near and dear to me. But you Bros have definitely influenced me to have this tank setup and tank mates. Your previous videos made it look so fun to keep South American Cichlids! Take Care! Keep doing awesome things! Micah J.
Just a recommendation, you’ve mentioned soaking driftwood and doing frequent water changes to try to get rid of tannins in your tanks, have you ever tried purigen? It’s a rechargable filter media that I’ve used on all my tanks. I put three of the packets into a 55 gallon tank and it cleared up my black water overnight, and lasted over a month before I had to recharge it
It's great to have a RUclips channel about your hobby to fund your hobby. I'm curious of the total price tag. The size is out of reach for me but I can dream..... I really like the custom tank.
That tank and sump are incredible and the final product looks gorgeous but it needs more synodontis! (Although. I think everything needs more synodontis,) so... take that for what it's worth.
Awesome tank! That wood is very unique. Love the mixture of fish especially those angel fish. I have never seen them before. That sump looks like a Great set up. I have never tried a sump been using canisters for decades. Could be one in my future!
That driftwood is HOT! I wonder what kind of wood that is? Nice tank and explanation video you could go way further into detail but I know you held back lol
Haha, thanks! Definitely cut a lot out since it was getting to be a long video. Will share more details over time in future vids! I believe that called the driftwood dragonwood
Great sump......I've been looking into the same set up very impressed.....I'm almost to the point of pulling the trigger on this......oh but first measure the space its going into...no no it will be fine....sofas are over rated anyway......hey family new tank is in....how do you all feel aout bean bags. To sit on........lol....
Very cool setup. I think some congo tetras or columbians, maybe black skirts would look good in there. A big schooling tetra. They might also diffuse any aggression that might arise. Great video.
Great setup. I see you added angelfish to cichild tank. is that dither fish? I have 75g Hap only tank. What fresh water dither fish would you recommend? I am thinking of Rainbow fish. thoughts?
I have a brand new 180 gallon tank. It has finger prints, and a little glue spots from the sticker/add from the store on the inside of the tank. How should I clean that off......I assume no windex. Thanks and great channel. Also, what are the type of rocks? Looks great!!
Hello! Great content! I am doing a fishless cycle right now on my 75 but once that is done I wanted to do a mimic of this tank with the geos and acaras as the stars with some plecos and angels as well. What would you say would be a good number of each for a 75 that is filtering about 500-600gph?
This tank is awesome! The 180 is really cool but this 150 is a master piece! Lighting, stocking, scaping are all perfect. Quick question.. I live in the Chicagoland area as well and have liquid rock coming out of the tap lol. How does your Apistogramma Mac fair in that? I've always wanted to try them out but keep hearing they don't do well in our water. But by the looks of it yours is thriving.
Thank you! My apisto has done just fine in harder water and higher ph, but I know some can be sensitive, especially wild caught. Not sure if mine would ever breed with these parameters, but could always try it out and get a female…
@@CichlidBros Good to know.. Yea you should give it a try. I was told Bolivian Rams wouldn't breed in such hard water but I've spawned them dozens of times. So maybe you could do the same with the Apisto!
@@CichlidBros How hard is your water? Are you just using tap, or mixing with other water? Hard Indiana water here, and thinking about a few Apistos in a 32 gallon tank. Thanks.
Your tank and the Coach’s tank got me to pull the trigger for an order to custom aquarium. Getting similar tank, seamless sump etc One question. Getting same stealth box 2400 GPH. How did you configure the drain options in box to minimize noise. Did you replace supplied valve with a gate ($$) valve. Thanks for your time.
I did a herbie overflow setup, which comes with the stealth box plumbing. To stop the draining sound, I turned down my return pump to about 45%. A gate valve would be ideal for turning the sump otherwise
Hi Troy looking for a bit of info from You! Loved your combo of severums, geo tapajos and electric blue acara! So much so, that’s what I’ve mostly went for! My tanks 120g, currently have a red a spot and red shoulder severum (both bout 4”) have 6 tapajos (4-5”) and looking to add acara! How many can I safely add in there do you think? I prob don’t have room for more severums I don’t think! Thanks !
@@CichlidBros Sounds good. I have a really nice wave maker with adjustable settings. It's set strong enough to remove the detritus off the bottom of the substrate reducing major gravel vacs but not so strong to annoy the fish. But thank you for your response because every other video that I've seen with angel fish did not have a wave maker. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!
Sorry, but I can't help it...you have some really beautiful fishes "hidden" in other tanks that deserved much more spotlight (I mean attention, more videos of them for us). I'm talking about the Gymnogeophagus Terrapurpura. They are relly, really beautiful fish, but you don't show them as much as they deserve. 🙂
@@CichlidBros oh ok cause I was wondering how it would be possible to get quiet when water is going straight into the sock and not a settling chamber...... Thanks oh good deal on the pollyfil..... You should look into a 30-45ppi poret foam does the same thing as poly but won't fall apart and reusable for years
Nice video! The tank looks great! Hey would Apistogramma’s be compatible with Acaras, Geos, Anglefish & Chocolate cochlid? Or would they eventually become the choc cichlids lunch?
Thank you! Wouldn’t do well with the chocolate over time. And I usually don’t recommend with those others either, unless your apisto is large/adult size and the others aren’t full grown yet
@@CichlidBros makes sense! Yeah I thought it might be dicey. You have multiple tanks so have some flexibility but I’ve got 1 tank plus a quarantine. Thanks for the advice Guys! 👍🏻
Not sure if you’ll see this with all of the comments, but… do you do anything to control humidity in your basement? I was thinking about adding an air exchanger because a dehumidifier would be working all of the time. My other option is to cover the tanks as much as possible, but I like the open tops. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Hey there. I actually do have a dehumidifier running all the time in my basement. Having firm lids will help a ton with evaporation and humidity. If you have multiple tanks, I’d recommend one, plus lids where you can

Quick and cool update buddy...Apistogramma got a huge upgrade.but now u will miss him since she was always by your side while u were working on your laptop.😅👍😃
Haha true! I’ll trade the loneliness for a better tank for the little guy. Might just have to work in front of this tank now lol
@@CichlidBros well said bro..😄
I'll be on RUclips all week and as soon as it flashes in my mind like I wonder when they're going to drop a new video boom there it is LOL
Ya... this might have just become my favorite tank on the page 😍

Awesome set up! Love how it’s looking
Thank you! 👌🏻
WOW my favorite cichlid setup yet by you guys 😍 I love that you have plants with them I cant wait to recreate this on a smaller scale in my 90 gallon! I just bought my first pleco a sunshine pleco I love it but he/she is only a baby still:)
Yeah wait!!!! Mine is huge like a 10 " long
Amazing tank and fish! My personal favorites in the tank are the electric blue acaras and the geophagus🙌🏼
Wow !! That looks fantastic !! Especially the Geo's.
Thank you!
Awesome 🤩🤩🤩 Sveni looking absolutely amazing !!! How’s the Apisto getting along with everyone?
Thanks, Sean! So far so good. He's the one I'm keeping the closest eye on, but everything has been peaceful to start
Looks amazing!!
Looking great! Love the setup
Thanks!

Yep, I’ve used chemi pure, which can do the same. Another reason to soak the driftwood was to make sure it stayed submerged
It's great to have a RUclips channel about your hobby to fund your hobby. I'm curious of the total price tag.
The size is out of reach for me but I can dream.....
I really like the custom tank.
Killer tank bro!👍
Thanks!
Beautiful tank 😍😍😍
So cool
glad your dream came true
Thank you 👊🏻👊🏻

Congratulations dear sir ❤️
Thank you!
Gorgeous tank! Great video as well! ✌️

So many fish on the first day. Keep nitrite level in mind!

amazing
Cichlid bro-in laws haha awesome video!
Haha, thanks!
Love the new tank : )
His will be interesting to add the female nicaraguense and put a trio, are super beautiful cichlid in the 150 gallons tank!
Beautiful layout. Can the Sveni's be kept in a planted tank or will they dig and uproot all the plants?
Thanks! They will dig around some. I used plant weights on any rooted plants. And glue on all non rooted plants
Love the new tank and such a super nice piece of driftwood! Quick question, how long did this tank set up take from start to finish?
Thank you! From unboxing to the final setup, it was about a week or so
Looks great what made you pick this sand out vs the seem more popular Torpedo Beach any benefits from one over the other thanks
Thanks! Just wanted to try out a different type. I like the grain size too
Still one of my favorite tanks on RUclips for sure. Quick question? Did you also glue the drain lines onto the stealth box? Thanks!
Thanks! I did. They fit pretty snug and probably would stay locked in, but I played it safe and glued them
That driftwood is HOT! I wonder what kind of wood that is? Nice tank and explanation video you could go way further into detail but I know you held back lol
Haha, thanks! Definitely cut a lot out since it was getting to be a long video. Will share more details over time in future vids! I believe that called the driftwood dragonwood
Fish nerds can sense one another lol I can't wait to see the next series of videos on this tank.
Really cool setup! I have 7 sveni too, hoping to see their fins extend longer when they grow bigger.
Great sump......I've been looking into the same set up very impressed.....I'm almost to the point of pulling the trigger on this......oh but first measure the space its going into...no no it will be fine....sofas are over rated anyway......hey family new tank is in....how do you all feel aout bean bags. To sit on........lol....
Very cool setup. I think some congo tetras or columbians, maybe black skirts would look good in there. A big schooling tetra. They might also diffuse any aggression that might arise. Great video.
The tank looks great! I think some tall stem plants across the back would make it even better. Amazon swords or some Val.
Thank you! I may add more over time 👌🏻
Great setup. I see you added angelfish to cichild tank. is that dither fish? I have 75g Hap only tank. What fresh water dither fish would you recommend? I am thinking of Rainbow fish. thoughts?

Nice.
very nice/ i have a 75 gallon how many of these geo,s could i keep without over stocking / no other fish thxs
Amazing Aquarium. Would it be possible to add some kind of tetras or would the bigger cichlids eat them ?
Thanks! Larger tetras would work. I ended up adding a big school of Denison barbs
Nice video boy.
Super!
General idea about how much something like this cost?
Great! If I get that sand will I have to rinse it?
Great video guys in your opinion is the h2overflow noisy and did you do a beananimal setup?
Thanks! I just did the herbie setup and turned the return pump down (to about 50%) until the water level was right. It’s really quiet now
@@CichlidBros oh ok cause I was wondering how it would be possible to get quiet when water is going straight into the sock and not a settling chamber...... Thanks oh good deal on the pollyfil.....

You are using ONE Sicce Syncra SDC 6.0 PUMP for the two outlets. Or you have two Sicce Syncra SDC 6.0 pumps.
If one how is it connected
Just the one. I used a Y split fitting on the return hoses
@@CichlidBros specs on pump are awesome wifi, 5 year warranty etc. With one pump are you running at 100 %
That wave maker is awesome also
Yep I’d highly recommend! Links are in description if needed 🤙🏼
Nice tank! Do you have the 12 or 18 inch arm?
Nice video! The tank looks great!
Hey would Apistogramma’s be compatible with Acaras, Geos, Anglefish & Chocolate cochlid?
Or would they eventually become the choc cichlids lunch?
Thank you! Wouldn’t do well with the chocolate over time. And I usually don’t recommend with those others either, unless your apisto is large/adult size and the others aren’t full grown yet
