180 Gallon Acrylic Aquarium | South American Cichlid Tank

[@underthebus5801]

I've had my 180 gallon "dream aquarium" over 15 years and share your excitement and enthusiasm. Congratulations!

God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest! Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth! Have a blessed day! ❗️❗️❤️❤️

Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA! Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960 La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto! Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra! Que tengas un hermoso dia! ❤️❤️❤️❗️❗️

Congrats on getting the new tank! you can put a lot more fish in that baby!

[@CichlidBros]

I just might soon ... thanks for watching!

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

Less is more. Less fish makes your tank look bigger and more natural.

[@terrymoore4685]

Troy is the type of guy this hobby needs. Very smart, genuine and progressive in terms of ideas to move fish keeping to a new level. I really enjoyed meeting and talking to him.

[@CichlidBros]

Really appreciate that, Terry! It was great to meet you as well. Great LFS that I will definitely check out regularly 👌🏻

[@CichlidCharmer]

Ordering mine tomorrow! I wanted a 210, but like you, this is the biggest one I can fit down my stairs. It will be so great! Yours is beautiful!

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you, and best of luck with the new tank!

Wow! That tank is Massive and Gorgeous!!!

[@twunderaquatics1770]

I used to have ciclids years ago. I slowly switched to planted tanks. If it don't get along with plants I don't have it. But Instill love seeing all fish vids. Great Job on video. Liked, subscribed, and enjoyed.

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 👌🏻

[@redsev4484]

Part of the challenge to make it work together! In addition to fish tearing them up deal with low pH soft water and 80+ temperature, yet I have lots of plants! I do agree that an Amazon biotope would not feel right for me without real Amazon only life plants.

[@BigFishLittleFishAquatics]

Nice set up! the unsung hero is the Keyhole, one of the most underrated cichlids, something about them reminds me of clownfish.

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you! Completely agree. Such a peaceful fish

[@a2thek914]

The shape of the keyholes definitely reminds me of Clown fish. That's funny

[@invaderjoshua6280]

Looks great, buying my 180 acrylic later this summer. Currently buying 8 discus, 8 angels, 1 gold severum, and 1 non electric blue acara for it. Gonna run two Tidal 110’s and 2-4 60 gallon sponge filters in it.

[@kakakid22]

Lovely set up ! I love Southamerican's. Cheers mate good luck with our tank !

Thank you! Cheers

There is nothing more fun than setting up a new tank preferably very large and the equipment that goes with it. Enjoy brother! By the way i have elite chiclid plants also i really love them.

[@CichlidBros]

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks, Michael!

[@mitchsfishes1719]

Oh man talk about a dream tank, so jealous! Congrats Troy! The only question I have is how did Quinn get out of doing all the heavy lifting, especially since he forgot his shirt?!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks, Mitch! He used the excuse that he helped me move the tanks a month ago, so I guess I’ll give him a pass this time lol

[@torredchc1768]

Its nice when you upgrade a tank. The reaction of your fish when they get more space is great to watch. I'm in the process of building my fish room as well. My 240 is getting old and has a crack in the seem I'm afraid it may blow soon. I should have my new tanks in a month.

[@CichlidBros]

Very nice. Good luck with the fish room!

Love the setup man! Also love to see other fish keepers having geophagus in their aquariums. Randomly found you on here so I will be on the look out for update videos.

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks, and welcome to the channel! Geophagus are the best. Love the peaceful nature and sifting behavior

[@geosjustin4624]

I have been keeping geophagus and advocating for them for the last 6 years to anyone that is into SA cichlids. They are so peaceful and with time they are stunning!

Awesome! Completely agree

Marvellous maverick setup buddy! Congrats for the new 180 and new sweet home too. Brilliantly shot video and I enjoyed watching every single frame of it! I totally like the way you guys unbox, brought down everything into basement and the perfect installations. Plants are very much realistic, no need to say on fishes I'm a South American Cichlid lover. red shoulder is steal deal here! Pretty much understocked for the size. Great going buddy! You guys always rock! Cheers 🤓🤟🏼

Nice! I’m definitely glad I went with them. Thanks for watching!

@@CichlidBros I definitely have to take them out about once a month to soak in chlorine for a day to kill the algae. Don't know if you have that problem up in IL in your basement but in SC that is a thing.

Real nice video and tank. You need to get a canopy for it. I also have an acrylic tanks. Looks like the fish are swimming in the air. Well done, very well setup.

[@paulmasters8666]

You should put a fine pad in the top tray of your fx6 (because of the water movement, it swirls around the sides and then flows down the middle from the top and then back into your tank) it means you have to open it up and take it out more often but it stops all your media from getting gunked up it really makes a big difference.
