Hmm. I'll think it over. I'm not really interested in Cichlids that much though. I'd rather have a large tank full of small to medium sized peaceful fish. The tank won't run room temp because of the evaporative cooling effect. In the winter time the tank will be cooler than the house by a lot, and in the summer it will be in the high 60's low 70's. The majority of my elect usage by far is from my heaters trying to keep the tank at 70 (year round). I want to do away with that. I think just working with cooler water fish would be simple. I was thinking about some Platies, tetras, guppies, cory cats, etc...
