    Great video! Very straight to the point with lots of good info and no long side mission rants. This has been very helpful to me.

    Some of the soundest practice and advice I've seen when it comes to Mbuna tanks. Personally I would say that maybe taking out the rocks that often is a bit of an overkill, but then again, the tank sand and rocks look amazingly clean so... the results are obviously showing!
    Keep up the good work!

    Bro, your tank looks beautiful! I have lava rock and dragon stone in my tank. Just be careful not to let it hit your glass. It will scratch it. I like all the different colors of cichlids. Nice job.

    @philipverslues6106 8 лет назад

    Beautiful tank, and lots of good information. I would like to try canister filters on my next tank, I currently use back packs on my 30 and 40 gallon tanks. Have you ever used a mirror background on a 75 gallon tank, I would mount it on the outside with silicone caulking. I also like the Idea of plastic crating on the bottom to support and distribute the weight of the rock.

Many good ideas from this: painting the background, the tote for the supplies, the grating under the substrate..Thank you SO much for sharing your tanks. Can't wait to see some more videos.

    Rob, I think your maintenance is right on. I do weekly 50% water changes and feed my fish every other day and only have 2 hang on the back filters and I have noticed my water to be clearer than before. I have a mixed American and African tank at work and a Mbuna tank at home. I like Mbunas, but I going to more of a Peacock and American tank at my office.

      @shutitfukface 4 года назад

      I'm assuming when he said you only have to clean your canister filter when the flow rate decreases or every 6 to 8 months. I honestly don't know what he meant by this comment, there is no way the foam and such inside the canister would be fine for that long, unless he meant cleaning out the whole inside of the canister but I don't know he never specified 🤷🏼‍♂️.
