If you skip the severums, you can have a very nice planted cichlid tank with that fish selection! I like plants a lot so it’s very difficult for me to give up anubias in favor of severums. Plus 75g is barely big enough for severums. I would do 90g if I ever got a severum.

Thank you for the recommendation of the Catfishes for bottom feeders. I ordered them along with a chocolate cichlid and 3 Denison barbs. From the Cichlid shack. The chocolate cichlid is so cool looking he is 4 in or so and is in my tank with my jack Dempsey female and red devil female and my green severum. Beautiful fish. I have to let the Denison barbs get bigger so they are in my 55 gal to grow out a bit. My 55 gal has my EBA and Golden severum and green terror growing out. They will be going into my 90 gal when they are bigger. Appreciate this video can't wait to see the finished tank and the other projects you guys have going on.

For fish, I have my heart set on central/South American cichlids, Sevrums, electric blue Acaras maybe geophagus with my blood parrot and Colombian tetras.

Toll, solche hilfsbereiten Brüder zu haben! 👍 Ein Riesen-Pott, allerdings bietet die Einrichtung zu wenig Versteckmöglichkeiten für deine Chichliden.....

Question? I am only familiar with FX6’s. With the seamless pump how do you get the poop out which tends to stay on the bottom. The seamless has its intake on the surface???

Another way to make the process faster is to take water from your other tanks, that way the fish you are moving are already used to the 'old' water
