First Ever Tanganyika Setup
Dear all,
After much consideration and seeking some advises from some of the bros here, i have finally decided to setup an tank for tanganyika. Due to limitation of tank space, this setup is solely for housing a few pcs of calvus and maybe some sand sifters. Tank size is 3 x 1.5 x 1 and running on 2 canisters. Feel free to advise as i will take all advises as a learning curve for me. Cheers!

Looks nice, maybe can get more rocks and try to cover the inlets and outlets for your canister.

Honestly, your rocks slightly too big because your tank depth not high enough. You could lie them down instead of standing or put in my tank.
 The 2 inlets you can drag them to the extreme corners if possible. Overall, nicely done imo, once u buy your conc shells from bro1043, tank is almost perfect.  Welcome to the tanganyikan club, I'm sure you will do as well as when you keep plecos.
