I hope so, cuz I jus finished digging!... Can you recommend any good cichlid
candidates to stick in there? America's or Africa... So far, I'm considering
The Jewel Cichlid, Convicts, Jaguar Cichilds and maybe Oscars. Might add a
really annoying Acei pair (7.5"+) later in the summer...

The

figure I
can go almost 2 feet deep and still be above "ground level". I figure
I'll
only be 1.5' or so below that level at the deepest.. This will give me
temp.
stability, hopefully at a bit higher temp. because the upper 2/3's of
depth
are actually above the ground level... Does my logic hold water? (pun
intended!) or am I over the limit?

I never really thought about it like that, it certainly sounds
logical... I know at the other end that plants in raised beds are
more susceptible to root damage from freezing, so the other side
should work too...
