Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / March 2004

Howdy.

I have decided to once again (after an almost twenty year hiatus) to
return to the world of cichlids.  I have nothing save gravel and
rocks.

So, I am looking for recommendations as to what to get--for equipment
and for fish.  I am looking at a minimum 55 gal tank, but am leaning
towards the all-glass 72 gal bow front (for aesthetics and more depth
for more structure options).

Also, anyone know where to get bulk lava rock (so I can drill holes in
it myself?

Thanks for opining!  :)
