Hi im am a college student I hope to one day have the finances to pull something truly great off, like you have. I think it is great that you gave your fish a habitat that is large enough for them. I also like the idea of having monster fish with cichlid colonies at the bottom. I sold my tanks when i moved to my apartment so i could afford school. I have kept what i thought were monster tanks in the past but I am truly humbled. I know people with normal tanks have aggression problems with their fish and I was just wondering what are the most aggressive fish in your giant tank? Also which fish is the most predatory? I also hoped you could recomend some literature on keeping monster fish and building monster tanks. It is one thing to create something like this, it is another to share it with the online community. This has been truly inspirational. In the words of Tupac Shakur "you are appreciated."
