I have a 55 gal tank sitting at home empty. I also have a decent fresh water filter. I would need more for a salt tank.
I had cichlids all through college. (Yes it is a bitch moving fish) I think i moved them from hburg to Chesapeake va and then back. The only real problems I would run into with those guys is fighting. Had to take a few little ones back to the store because they were getting beat up a bit.
I had them breeding a few times also. That was pretty cool. Only a few of the babies would grow to adults from each brood (or whatever you call them), but it was cool to watch them avoid and live with the bigger fish.
