Looks good - maybe use a sponge or other used media from another tank to introduce beneficial bacteria (cycle it)...

Im sorry, i dont really like a tanks with just one species in it. Not too fond of earth eaters, I like Midas, Texas, Jack dempseys, Jags, HRPs, Sajicas, and etc.
I really appreciate the offer tho.

Whats your point? I have several tanks with breeding pairs of angelfish, firemouth, convict, and texas cichlids the water going past the stated level is not a problem.

I think he was asking if the heaters are fully submersible or not. I believe that they are. There are some cheap ones where you can't put the control knob below the water level or it will short out the heater.

Lol naw its not a problem, everytime i set up a tank i use these heaters they work the best and really durable.

I wouldn't put any more fish in the tank with a pair of midas unless you plan on moving them quickly. The midas will outgrow a 55 in no time, and if they spawn, they'll kill anything else in the tank.

I had plans on moving everything but i think im going to let them have this tan to themselves.
