That's a beautiful tank Brookers.

Dang! Dan that is quite the stock list! I bet it looks amazing.

I was hoping Japes would get in on this, you are the one that got me into eartheaters in the first place. (Im sure I am not the only one, either)

Julian: the discus work well then? They arent stressed to much by the cichlids? I have thought about keeping them with my altifrons but I wasn't sure.
