Mts being more or monster tank syndrome? I recently shut down a 20 long and 65 for the 110 or whatever it actually is. I find myself wanting to do a cold water reef tank, and probably just monster fish. I dont know why but those central and south american cichlids really get me going. Thanks for the welcome! What ate you looking to keep? Salt water is still so foreign to me. Fish wise at least. Seems that there are not much that stay too small and dont need tons of room.

Hey gals and guys! My names Kevin, 28, from Edmonton and started keeping fish in march. Had an old 33 gallon that I had kept some rodents in years ago so figured I would give African cichlids a go! I purchased a 4x2x2 tank just over a week ago with a red devil(decent story with this guy) some red head vieja, small green terror, synodontis eupterus and a Pleco that I'm wondering if I was sold a full on pleco rather than a bristlenose. I digress. I have a 55 with 12 africans, 3 petricola, 4 convicts and clown pleco hiding somewhere. Also have a 20 gallon salt with a chocolate/mocha ocellaris that was rejected from my 50 gallon salt, along with a very small regular ocellaris, there is a turbo snail and 2 "algae hermit crabs" (in quotes because I dont know the actual name) In the 50 salt are the other 2 matching ocellaris, a big female and small male; one yellow tail blue damsel, one blue damsel, one brittle star, 2 turbo snails, 2 red leg hermits 4 algae hermits and 1 algae blenny. Recently I made a few internal skimmers based off of joey from king of diy's design, with some adjustments. I think I got into the hobby because I have no friends around edmonton anymore. Need something to take up my time. Tl;dr No friends so fish are my friends. Went big fast. No regrets.
