Bleached the decor in my 125 African tank today, took out all the plants, reduced the amount of decor and redecorated. It's still a little hazy, but clearing up.
I'm hoping to make this a Frontosa and/or hap-peacock tank soon.

I think so too. I had it too full of decor before for the mbuna. Much roomier now!

I'm still learning about types, regions etc. It gets confusing to me.

Exactly. He's tried to explain before but I glaze over pretty quickly.

Alan, how many Fronts do you have in your 125? David, I have 8 fronts in my 125. Make sure your holy rock is sitting on the glass because they will dig the substrate out from under it and it will fall over otherwise. They did that with the river rocks I had in there before the holy rock. When I put the holy rock in, I set it on the glass and they have still dug out all around it. I have lots of places where bare glass is showing two or three inches out from the base of the rock. My substrate was completely flat when I set it up and now it looks like the rolling hills of Tennessee. |

Eight is what I'm thinking too after talking to Jon. I will definitely make the holey rock more stable. I have egg crate under my crushed coral substrate so hopefully that will help too.

so far mine has not dug around my holy rock they are digging around a big clay flower pot i have in the tank, the pot is on its side so it won`t hurt if they dig all the way around it
