welcome to the forums 40 tanks, nice

Neons, good varity and cheep will except most types of fish, they mix well with others(not cichilds) its up to you in the end, get what you like the look of. find out about the fish you like first,some don't get on that well together and some will out grow that tank of yours very fast. search the internet and if you are not sure this is a good place to start asking questions good luck on your choice

make money, never,break even, mabey, cost you, now you got it. but it is a good way to meet other fish keepers when they come to buy

i think that everyone is going to tell you the same thing, external is better. a fluval 4 internal would run 180lts with no problems, cost around $90.00 a jebeo as wok said, for the price are a great filter, cost $140.00 http://www.deepblueaquarium.co.nz/filter.htm for the $50.00 you get 4 x more filter. i have them both and they are great filters but IMHO i would go for the canister, its a lot less work as you only need to clean it out every 6 months and later on add a small internal and the canister can be left 12 months. the internal also adds to the current. but as it goes with most of us, the budget will decide

hi Geremy welcome to the forums we have a few things in common,i also like my cichlids and as you can tell from my user name i like the monaro as well. mine is a 1968 HK i have the perfect 4ft tank for you as well but its not like you are just down the road. i'm sure TM will help mark

very nice baby tank all you need now is a few more batches to fill it up

WOW 7850lts; WOW fish; WOW corals; WOW tank; WOW set up; WOW running cost; OMG build cost; ******* **** after that said, thats amazing

it has nothing to do with you being an aussie as im also an aussie, born and bread on the coast, my family still live there. all i ment is that you teased us with product then dont want to sell it to us. these forums are for everyone to help each other with the HOBBY, witch we do very well at, but all i have read from you is that you are pushing your business and have not offered any help to anyone.there have been questions about lights that a person in your position would be able to answer with a great deal of knowledge. sorry if anything i have said has upset you but when you help others you will get a lot of help in return mark

50 is not that big, but you only deal with shops,ask them

for about .2 of a second , if that long would make a good heater

a lot of the cichlids will last up to 15 years
