Update:

thanks!!! there is a 210g in the works for some of my bigger guys....just trying to go the cheapest route possible right now in terms of rocks and filters and heaters....the no gravel on the bottom of the fry tank is because these geophagus spend all day sifting through the substrate...one this batch sells i plan on putting a thin layer of sand in there for them....thanks for all the advice...way the water stays clear is im anal about my tank maintenance...water changes weekly...making sure my carbon is still active...and not overfeeding...I appreciate all the advice...I do agree with alot of the answers...definitely will need to find a bigger tank once some of my boys mature....i now plan on the sand for the fry...gives them something to play with....thank you guys for looking!!! once 210 is finished i'll post some more pics...need to cycle it first

    Wow. The tanks are so full of life. Each tank is different, it's beautiful. The colors of the fish get brought out by the White gravel and sand substrates. The colouring of each fish is gorgeous. All the pictures defiantly caught my eye, and I'm sure people really admire your tanks. The only thing you could do is add some form of substrate into the fry tank, however this is not a necessity. The plastic plants look great, however you could try live plants as they bring vibrance to any tank.

    Hope I Helped.

    I really like the quality and the colours of the fish because they jump out at me when I see the pictures. The gravel and the decorations go well together, I like how you've combined pink and white stones for the substrate.

    In the fry tank I do recommend adding some kind of substrate, because it just looks better.

    Sometimes fake plants don't really look good, but I like how your tanks are so vibrant. Though I would recommend backgrounds for your tanks.

    The fry tank looks good. The pink/white gravel ruins it for me on the African cichlid tank, and it could do with about double the rock work.

    I do see a number of fish that are going to need bigger tanks when they grow up...but that's a problem for another day, I suppose.

    Your tanks look really nice! They have places to hide, and it looks clean and healthy.

    The only thing I noticed, one of them hasn't got any gravel at the bottom, gravel makes it more natural for them, although as they are not mine, I don't know if it has to have no gravel for some reason, as I don't know whats in there.

    All in all, you tanks look really good and well looked after.

    Hope they all turn out fine!

    I have no advice for you, just wanted to say very nice! Great photo quality and your fish seem quite happy.

    Side note, I really love that blue background on some of your pictures, it looks kinda like the sky!
