That's a good thing. Working it's magic. I would try to get the rest of your LR in there before adding any livestock. You could experience another cycle when you add more.

great looking tank, it looks like it is going to be a room divider...sweet!!

I restacked my rocks, did a water change, and modified my sump to work better with my skimmer. This pic isn't all that different from the last one, but I feel like I did so much today, that I need a pic post

.

Also, you cannot see it in this pic, but the view through the tank is great. There are little sail boats in my aquarium :-)

looks sweet Tank Girl

now just move that building in the way of your view

LeslieS · 07-14-2006, 09:18 PM

I swear - the view gets reduced by one building each summer. The only good thing is that it keeps our rent from going up! We pay less now than when we moved here!!!!

**jhale** · 07-14-2006, 09:21 PM

your rent went down? that's crazy I never heard that before.

well I know where the saved rent money is going

how much more rock are you going to put in the tank?

LeslieS · 07-14-2006, 09:26 PM

For now, 2 more big pieces on the pile and some baseball size to fill out holes and scatter in the front. I am happy that I waited. I feel like it would have been easy to add too many and have the tank look too solid. Also, I pretty much killed all the rocks that are in there so adding a few pieces at a time now will bring some life back.

My nitrates are still too high, so I am mixing up some more water for another change. I hope to be able to start adding things soon. It looks like I have bryopsis, hair algae, diatoms, and some blue green starting. I really want to get those taken care of!

Where's the Fish? Nice looking tank. You should look into some big tonga branch pieces to add diversity to the structure. A few pieces protruding into the water column looks nice. Maybe i am partial to that kind of rock
