125gallon stock and setup and any advice? Kept fish for 2 years, I want to get into cichlids. Currently have 4 angel fish that are 3-4/4-5. Willing to relocate them to my other tank if needed, I’m looking for maybe 4-7fish that all get a decent size with a few schooling fish.

Went to my LFS to see what my options are to increase pH for a new African cichlid tank. I’m new to the hobby, and Marcorocks are one of the rocks they recommended. I’m having a tough time finding reviews on them. How long will it take for it to increase the pH. No change in pH yet. Only been 24hrs.

My LFS sold me an N. livingstonii (hap) when I was specifically asking for mbuna’s. They are only allowing me to “surrender” it rather than getting a refund or exchange. If I were to keep it, would it do my tank and other mbuna’s more harm than good? Or just return it?

Newbie here. From what I’ve read, I think I’ve got a male and female golden ram here...does that sound right? Thinking that the back fish may be becoming more pale and am worried she is stressed by male chasing her around. Water parameters are okay and tank is heavily planted. Should I separate?
