This was my other 72g just tang tank, I no longer have this tank. I gave this tank to a friend that helped me move all my stuff including the back-breaker 155g tank. His wife always liked this tank and wanted to give her a nice tank. So my friendly gesture was to offer this tank.

Just to add i took out two current usa actinics bulbs and replaced them with 10k coralife's on my 155g. The lighting was entirely too blue as you can see in the first two pics other then it didnt do any justice to the coloring to the trophs. Red almost looks orange/yellow and Kazumba's looked greenish. The two species breed quite often. Ill like to say the myth about two different species tropheus not breeding in the same tank is not true. My black species and moorii do.

Yes as you can tell im a bowfront fan. My only issue is with my 155g, its hard to light this tank since the middle is wide and the light sits somewhat back, not allowing full lighting on fish when in the center. Problem being is that center of the tank is like the social hangout and they don't get lit properly. Other then that i do enjoy this tank.

Have you tried changing the position of the korillas to flow one direction? When I look at them the look like they all point in the same place and the fish are stuck.

The fish areant stuck, they gathered at the front of the tank when i was taking pics. Im not doing one direction of water movement in thought of possible dead spots of no water movement blocked by rocks. The outcome of that will allow waste and debris to settle in these area's.

Tanks look amazing! Love them! The black substrate is so nice. I as well am a bowfront fan. Finally got my first, a 28(ish). Hopefully one day I can get a larger one and have SW in it.
