minn-1 Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have a 210 gallon tank and I want to stock it with african cichlids. I need some ideas on what I can use for hiding spots, etc. Also my tank is 30" deep making it hard to set up stuff at the bottom. Is there anything out there that could be put together making it easier to reach. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkangel Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 When I had my african tank up all I used for hiding spots was large field rocks that I piled up along the back of the tank. I put the rocks in first and then the sand, that way when they started digging nothing fell over. As far as reaching into the tank to do work on it I can suggest a swim suit and diving board or you can use a small step ladder to stand on and bend over into the tank. LFS also have all kinds of gadgets for grabbing, planting, and placing things in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
