Welcome to the Cichlid group. I love them and it is so much easier to maintain a cichlid tank then a salt water tank. That is my opinion but Sas will not agree with me I am sure.
When Sas gave me his salt water tank to convert to a Cichlid tank, we threw away the gravel and basically start from scratch. We were lucky because we have a koi pond and we took the gravel from the pond for cycling.
