My wife and I recently started a new 72 gallon bow front aquarium. We purchased it used on craigs list and did some work to it so it would match our decor a little better. Anyhow we are in the middle of doing a fishless cycle with pure ammonia and we are looking to add some malawi cichlids once we are done.
Here is what the tank looked like when we started.

We sanded and stained the stand and painted the trim on the tank

We are running a Rena XP3 and a Biowheel 200 for filtration with an aquaclear powerhead. The rocks are sandstone and plants are fake. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
