ur too kind Branda thanks for the nice words... yeah i got those xenias from another friend of mine they have grown quite considerably but not to the point of me worrying i think my water is a lil cleaner then they preffer so they are a tad bit slower at growing than other peoples ive seen b4 and ive got them off to the corner to keep them from getting to much into the rock work

thanks matt yeah that clam is too much lol it takes way too much Alk and Calcium its got my reactor on full blast cuz its such a hog and grows so much... thanks its actually not much work anymore runs itself pretty nicely i spend about 1 hour a week on maintenance i feed every day but thats about it.... a 30G water change every 2 months i change a filter sock every week and empty the skimmer cup every week, clean tank glass every 4-5 days, i add top off water to my auto top off system every 3-4 days, check alk and calcium every 3-4 days add a lil buffer when necessary if reactor falls behind and thats about it... the rest of the time is spent trimming and moving things around so they dont battle as u can see its really not that hard of a tank to maintain anymore i have the system dialed in to run pretty smoothly

Sounds just about like my regimen, I do weekly water changes though, and no reactor, so a little more adding Calcium. Mine pretty much runs itself too. I only have a couple of pics posted in various threads, so you may or may not have seen it. No where near your's, but crawling closer.
