I'm cool. Plodding along. Just bought a 6 foot by 1.5 foot by 1.5 foot tank - also want to keep a cichlid-only tank. (Had to move a couch out of the living room to accomodate the tank) 
I'm thinking of putting in 8 blood parrots and nothing else. I really like these fish, but they always stir up controversy.
We won't talk about South Africa's performance in the world cup cricket :-(
You going to keep plants with your cichlids?

Why wont we? lol
Nice tank Aquaman youll have to send me a pic when its running!
No I think I might have a couple of anubias but I want it as close to the real thing as possible, im just doing a deal to get about 70 Mbuna to stock the tank with! Woohoo!
Those Parrots will be lost in a tank that big lol

Yeah, I also like the idea of just rock and no plants. The tank is busy cycling at the moment - all that is in it at the moment is 35 kg of rock (It's a good feeling arriving home every day and discovering that the bottom of the tank hasn't fallen out yet)
I want to understock it as much as possible. I think the rock will look cool with just a few parrot fish around.
I'll put a pic on the site when the fish are in the tank. You'll have to do the same.
Cheers.
