--- Quote from: "timberdog" ---Get your self the best external filter you can afford and make sure it is full of media and carbon...this will reduce to build up of green.
Or if you go the other way get a Sump filter with meadia and filter gauze..
I have a 6 foot x 24"X24"...aprox 340 gallons with Malowie Ciclids in it..i love to sit and watch em .. :wink:
The misses keeps threatning to fry one one up for Supper :twisted:

good advice, but remeber carbon has a finite life and cant be washed and reused.

tank looks great.
TULL:
seems a bit well populated for a tank so new, ive had discus , marine , chiclids you name it, at some point it will all go belly up, and in a marine tank it makes you cry and your bank manager

Bit late now, but you should not put fish into a 'new' tank for a couple of weeks until the filter medium has matured some good bacteria to cope with breaking down waste in a process termed the nitrogen cycle.
Get yourself a couple of good books and read up on the subject.
Fish only die when something is wrong.
I have a cold water tank(as opposed to a Tropical tank) and I have a number of goldfish about 6 years old and younger and the largest is about 8-9 inches long by about 2 1/2 inches deep (I need to find someone with a pond and move some of them on to be honest as they are too much for the size of the tank).
You will need to take out and replenish a certain amount of water every week to help keep the amonia/nitrite/nitrate levels down.
Get as much info as possible. Enjoy.
