500 Gallon In-Wall African Cichlid Tank

I recently got to see a 500 gallon in-wall African Cichlid display tank that's right down the road from my house. Here is the build thread about this tank that I mention several times in the video:

+Adam C thanks Adam

[@reidsmith3002]

That's awesome I had seen this tank on KZbin before that's a sick setup

[@BenOchart]

Amazing. I would keep it an AC tank and enjoy the variety of color, but to each his own. An amazing build and set up for sure.

[@freemansaquatics5326]

Ben Ochart yes i agree with ya

[@Emery98]

Ben Ochart l

[@davidgao9046]

I agree. Excluding the parrot and separating the T-Lake cichlids would’ve been better.

[@CreativePetKeeping]

[@tomfish1312]

I want to know what is the name of the plant in his filtration room please

[@jeffk464]

holly crap, some day.

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Jeff K we can all dream

[@DJ_LittlePea]

Now that is a dream tank for sure it looks amazing 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@edwardhague7676]

What is the name of the plant, that you have there I didn't catch it?

[@HermannTheGreat]

Cool fish, big tank, but looks like it would be too difficult to clean and not enough hiding spaces for the fish.

[@adamc7918]

Thought I'd check this out again a year later

[@StevePolandAquatics]

They moved last year and it didn’t sound like whoever bought the house was a fishkeeper. I believe this was taken down. I’ve seen some bigger tanks than this one but having it in the wall really made it special.

[@devonprice469]

what do your parameters look like? I noticed a parrot cichlid in there..?

[@zafishguy5166]

how much money did all those fish cost combined can you ask him for me please

[@AwesomeKitCat]

$45-75 is ridiculous. Higher end cichlids might cost $30 or more, but theres a lot that cost $15 or less.

[@trevorj203]

How many fish do you have

[@WichitaFallFishKeeper]

Wow!

[@Bobbyleebudde]

If you still have I'll take some of them yellow and blue peacocks

[@Doomaster199]

Hey quick question. I have about 7 African cichlids (2-4 inches each) plus a 1 inch sucker fish in a 37 Gallon Tank. I've heard that adding more cichlids reduces aggression so I'm wondering if i should add more to that tank. Also I know that African cichlids grow big, so when should I switch to a bigger tank?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Doom Master what type of African cichlids?

[@Doomaster199]

3 Mbunas, 3 peacocks, and a Hap

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Doom Master what type of hap?

[@Doomaster199]

I think it's called a red tail zebra

[@erick6102]

Hey steve, I had problems with both links. The KZbin channel says it doesn't exist and the monster fish keeper link won't open up to any video. Am I missing something?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Eric K are you on a phone or computer? In the KZbin app or a browser? I just checked and both links worked for me.

[@rahulshinagare3232]

great video

[@SoldiersKnowsBest]

why does the water have that whiteish look to it?

[@MrJotman356]

so the tank is wood? wouldnt wood get wet and soft and moldy?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+MrJotman356 when you build a plywood tank you seal it and make the bottom and sides waterproof

[@MrJotman356]

Steve Poland Cichlids oh ok so its not just wood. thanks!!!

[@freemansaquatics5326]

aww man love the tank save your $ fronts are kinda plane jane keep your fish man they are never going to have another tank like this

[@kcrunchone]

OMG dude I would love to have some of the livingstonii, would you be willing to ship me 4 of them.....

[@StevePolandAquatics]

He has already sold all of these fish

[@beric4895]

Can I buy those two dolphin fish?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Cong Pei he sold them back when the video was made

[@off-roadrc4807]

Are you selling them to people

[@nyymatt7]

Nope. Robots.

[@somchitphol613]

Need a those christyi

[@Mattb843]

Get that poor angel out of there 8:09

[@Mattb843]

bath salt bandit It has absolutely no fins left, that's very cruel.

[@njafricancichlids5149]

Jealous of the tank but not the work. How in the world do you manage?

[@TheTradesmanLU2001]

Cimmerian Savage More water, less variation in parameters

[@nileshkapurkar1123]

i have only 150 G Tank

[@yallaharab247]

Good morning, welcome to 711!

[@Alexandra-sd4yy]

Aren't they to many?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

+Alexandra Coliar no, you really want to stock like this to help curb aggression

[@relaxationtime9320]
