thanks heartben- I ordered a rock with three yuma's and only got one yuma and two regular rics on it. I mailed em and am waiting to see what they say about it.
I have ordered 7 times now from here and all orders have been perfect. Everything is always healthy. Those pics were taken after about 10 minutes in the tank, so the shrooms should look really good later tonight.

here are a couple full tank shots
Lauren- thanks for your comments and I just use the sport mode on my camera for fish pics. I seems to do ok for catching them without blur.

lookin good

if you ever want to up your flow the maxi jets hook right up in the back ..
and if you have a hard time getting rid of the scum on the top ...cut a peice of plexi slide it behind your rocks to stop any water going in the grates ....even if you put the black plastic peices in it draws a lot from it
good luck

demartini----thanks...I still have to find a couple more pieces I like. And of course get alot more rics and yumas....LOL
elitsoh- Thanks and yes I am having a problem with surface film. I have all the grates closed except fro the top, and still have scum. I am going to get a maxijet 1200 to replace the stock rattling pump, and a 900 for the display part with a hydor flo on it. I hope that will do it.

elitsoh----a 3/4 street elbow does not fit the outlet.... I went and got one and made a spray bar for it and no way it fits. I would have to wrap about 1/2 a roll of teflon tape around it to make it fit.
I did however take the pump out and clean it and took off the nozzles down the the "y" in the locline and now I have massive flow. I was cleaning the pump and something must have been clogging it cause it shot water about ten feet in the air. After seeing that I decided to try it again. So this is my spray bar that doesn't fit, and how I am running now.
