NIce setting....I'm curious tho how you clean the side as well as the bakc of the glass?

 

[paulcoates]

I can get at the side with a Mag Float. I dont worry about the back. I have 2 Turbo's and about 20 Astrea's along woth two Sand Sifting Starfish and a Lawnmower Blenny.

How big is the tank? how lbs. of LR are there? do you have a sump underneath?

 

[paulcoates]

55 gallon with about 110 lbs of rock and no sump

 

[small time]

looks like a nice start
do you have a powerhead of anything for circulation behind the rock?

 

[paulcoates]

I have 2 400GPH powerheads back there along with a 400 GPH filter
Plus I will be adding a 100 gallon tank skimmer in the next few days

I"m just noticing that your tank water looks kinda green there. Are you running any carbon? But anyways, nice tank, that xenia will grow like a weed.
