I'm sure the CKF and some of the bichirs (are there still some in there?) would appreciate some more caves and hiding places where they have something over their head. Otherwise, tank's looking great

yeah there are 23 bichirs in there. The CK sure is happy that i put back some plants he can hide behind. But the roots are great caves for the bichirs (as you can see most af them arent in the pic, they are under the roots most of the time) 
beautiful tank and nice read for a tank's evolution over past 2 years. love the shot at trying cichlids only to discover what we've all discovered about them, you can either have cichlids or good aquascaping, but not both
only plants I can keep rooted in my tanks are the ones rooted in driftwood. lol
what's the full current stocklist?

Andri Pogo;1200001; said:i had over 400L of water ready from 2 other tanks when i set this one up, so the fish went straight in, no problems there.
and thanks for the good comments all
The water is down there right next to useless, what you want is the already established filter media not a bunch of dirty water.
Nice tank setup though, that paroon is going to be a monster !
much more than it would cost in the states i think
to give you an idea, just the lid+lights (dimmable 4x39W T5) costs ~1000-1500$ (depending on the currency rate between USD - Icelandic Krona)
