I give that tank a 6. Needs some rock work
This is my 55 Gal that I only had for a few weeks. Still need to get a background. Still new to Cichlids any advice would be appreciated. Had another Tiger Oscar but he decided that he didn't like his old home before I got this one.

I'll have to give it a 5 in it's current state. You are right about the background and you definately need more rocks (and fish....).
Here's my latest variation (changes with each cleaning). Lots of hiding spots with the flat rock but I need something to give it more height. Also still working on the stocking in the tank.
And with the moonlights:

^8, love the moonlights, like the contrasting colours of stone, but it looks a little 'arranged'

Here's my 115 gallon mixed tank. Pardon the blurriness, I still can't figure out how some of you people get such nice, clear pictures without using a flash.

Pmac, nice tank, I give it a 6.5, I like the look but imho it needs more rocks. More condos for the kiddies.
Okay be nice its my first go at a Cichlid tank, and I just got my fish in it this week.

NetStalker, I'll give you a 6-7. I am picky about tanks being natural looking.
My unfinished BR tank.
my rams.

Can I get some feed back?
I know it needs a background and some more plants, but what type of plants could I add and how about rocks?
I also know that's not what this tread was made for but it would really help me out.  _________________ Keep it real!

also just adding more plants to create for cover for the fish, maybe some rocks _________________ 55 Gal Malwai/Victoria 29 Gal Haplochromis sp.44 "Red Tail" fry tank 29 Gal soon to be Tanganyika 1.5 Gal Crowntail Beta |

Thanks!
Do you know of any good plants I can use to cover a intake for a HOB filter?
Sorry for being off topic, I wont continue asking off topic questions so the rest of ya'll can get back to the point of the tread.  _________________ Keep it real!

To hide your intake, try a nice tall Amazon sword. Also, I would turn that wood upside down so that the T is in the sand. Or even lay it down flat. That is a really nice piece but it looks odd like that. If you really like the wood like that you should put big slanted rocks on one side of the base. It just looks too symmetric like this wood is what we are to look at when we look at the tank instead of looking for fish:) Rams like plants as do neons. You should add many more. Any high temp plant should do great just remember to fertilize. It is lovely though. Good job so far  _________________ I may be wrong but in my opinion......
