Yeah. I'm a bit worried about new algae growth with the new lighting. Well see how it goes. Will probably need more algae eaters ( my gf calls em janitors). Hopefully the plant load takes off before algae

For now there's no need for your main lights to be on for more than 8 hours. Some don't run lights at all during a cycle

after a bit of a clear up and some algae cleaning, its looking good :)

Ok, so I had a 10K 18W JBJ PC on my freshwater tank, and it just got a boost. So that means the pico gets the nicer lighting. The old fixture goes back to being the back up lighting. Anywhooo, here's the shots. The reflectors on these are way better, the only thing is its not blue and white...

Yah I worked on my tanks this weekend Friday Saturday and Sunday for at least 4 hours each day. But the biggest is my nano! I feel your accomplishment :) The weird thing is once you get going its a bit addictive.

I spent most of my weekend stocking my pico then did an overhaul on my nano, and I looked over at my freshwater tank and it looked sad to have no attention. So I did a little upgrade; I've been reading up on planted freshwater tanks, had 18W 1000K on my 15 gallon tall tank. Just got a 65 Watt...

Ok, so the tank had some issues in the last month.... from a series of built up problems. The problems: 1. hair algae all over back wall 2. Corraline die off 3. limited zoo growth and polyp extension 4. cyano bacteria Diagnosis after trying to fix different issues for the last month My PC lights...

So, how have your chestnut snails worked out? I just got one for each tank.

Ok, so I went to 3 different stores and here's what I got :) Oh yeah so these guys are currently in my 24, because they were stuck together, but I'm going to stick the smaller one in my pico tank. and for the full tank shot There's also a pom pom crab somewhere in there, but I can't find...

No updates other than I've talked my Lfs into giving me a good bulk rate if I buy most of the build through him so that's a bonus. I was originaly looking at pc jbj 30" fixtures but I think it was only 120 ish watts. Maybe I'll bump it up. What types of corals have you had luck with for that...
