First post from NOVA member, final species for 180gal

Hi, my name is Kyle, first post here. I follow a few forums but really don't post, so hope I do this right! Prior to this my last tank was a 55gal Malawi community but this is meant to be set up as a Tropheus tank.

I'm getting ready to finally fully stock my 180gal Oceanic (5ft wide, Starfire front glass) with the final outfitting of fish. I built the stand and light hood, and filtration setup is a Living Color LCE300 wet/dry sized for 300+ gallons and an Eheim 2026 for water polishing. Current residents are Eret cyanostictus and Julidochromis regani Chisanse. I'm returning from Afghanistan this week and I just didn't have time before I left to find the Tropheus. (Julies are breeding like mad in my absence, though...my wife has been taking good care of the tank.)

I'm really looking forward to a colony of Trophs. I'm leaning towards Kasanga RR but I really enjoy almost any pic I see, so I'm open to many variants, depending on the availability.

Here's some pics of the tank (as long as I do this right):

Retry at pics

Been very busy since I got back, but it's very good to be at home again. Here's another try to post some newer pics of my tank.
