Set-Up Of My Tanks The aim of describing my tank set-up is to share information with fellow aquarists. It may not be the best set-ups and constructive comments are welcome. E-mail your comments to me. Initial Set-up The first tank was a 4ft tank with Malawi Cichlids as the first occupants. Through the months, I tried to make it into a "community" cichlid tank, adding any cichlids that I fancy, mixing cichlids from Africa, Central Amercia and Central America.  This obviously did not turned out well and subsequently I added another 4 ft and 2 ft tank to separate them.   Click here to view the set-up of my first 4 ft x 18 inch x 18 inch Tank.	Present Tank Set-up Presently, I have 3 tanks, each housing cichlids that required the similar water parameters.     Central America Set-up (2 ft by 18 inch by 18 inch).  I used the set-up for a pair of Nicaragua Cichlids (Hypsophys nicaraguensis) and to grow out a Argentea. This is filtered by a Eheim 2260 (950 litres/hr).   2  x Lake Tanganyika (African Cichlid)  Set-up housing Tropheus (4 ft by 18 inch by 18 inch). These are filtered by a Eheim 2280 (1050 litres/hr) and a Eheim 2217 (1000 litres/hr).
