Thanks,

Yeah it took a lot of work. Hindsight is 20/20 with a few things and if we ever move I'll build a new tank. Overall I'm happy with the end product.

Red zoos (I bought these on a trip to Edmonton and then got snowed in in Red Deer, other than some of the colony dieing it's the only thing that survived). Pic taken Sept 2007,

PS my camera and picture taking skills aren't all that good. :)

nice growth shots!!

I picked up 3 LumenMax elite reflectors and installed them in December. The light throughout the tank is much better now.

I also picked up a PFO dual ballast and I'm getting new bulbs this weekend :).

Love those growth shots Mike!! That top down of the orange monticap is really nice!

MikeP 01-14-2009 07:59 PM

Yeah, caps look nice from the top eh? I should have placed it closer to the bottom of the tank - oh well.

You have had some great growth! All in 10-12 months too! Great job.

I don't know if I missed it somewhere but what are you doing for calcium/alk? What do you dose or what is your maintenance schedule like?
