Let us have a look at African Cichlid aquarium designed and maintained by Foster and Smith Aquatic Services Staff.

This 155 gallon, all-glass, bow-font African cichlid aquarium is just one of the numerous African cichlid aquarium created by Foster and Smith. It consists of different types of cichlid including blue peacock cichlid, frontosa African cichlid, Electric blue cichlid, cobalt blue zebra cichlid and catfish. Since several cichlids are paired off and bred, number of aquarium inhabitants will automatically increase. Diet of cichlids housed in this aquarium includes Hikari cichlid staple, Julian sprung’s sea veggies, Hikari alage wafers and ocean nutrition cichlid veggie formula. Caves and nooks of African cichlid aquarium will create healthy habitat in home aquarium environment.

In this cichlid aquarium, water treated by reverse osmosis with R/O right powder can be added to remineralize aquarium water. Additives/supplements used in African cichlid aquarium are Kent cichlid Essential Water Conditioner, Kent AF cichlid chemistry and Kent AF cichlid buffer. Water in this typical African cichlid aquarium can be tested with Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Master Test Kit (tests for pH, high range pH, ammonia, nitrite and hardness). PH of 7.8-8.5, DH of 10-15, and temperature of 72-82 Degree Fahrenheit are the ideal water parameters of African cichlid aquarium.
