You got quite some display with all those tanks in your room.
Can you still sleep at night with all pumps running?
I aggree, the 55 gl should be a little more occupied...

the tank looks like a good home for some lucky fish.

I think a flowerhorn would do great in that tank. They don't seem to like many fish; maybe a couple of small, tough, quick, able to escape and hide, type fish. Maybe convict, or (if you don't mind mixing african with central/south american cichilids) i have seen a couple african cichlids do okay with Flowerhorns and RD/Midas cichlids.

Good luck with your new tank. Post a vid of the new fish when it happens.

landscaping stores usually have a plethora of different types of rocks and most of them are safe for use in an aquarium. I don't know if you've tried such a store yet but if you haven't give it a try.

Christ, that is a lot of rock. Is it real? If I was you I would try and find out how much water you have displaced, you may find out that you have reduced the amount of water your aquarium can hold dramatically.

That some massive rocks!
they're cool.
Did you put anything under the stones, before putting them in there?
Still thinking flowerhorn?
he might have a hard time turning, due to the stones.
