I'm happy for you two lol. That ordeal shaved years off my life! So Wes, yours was trying to eat the clam and the clam caught it? Gentler passing than mine experienced...

What a pain, Brett. I don't know if my neck could handle what you went through, unless you went swimming :mrgreen:

Sooooo
What's up with the tank these days ?

Guess I've been letting the thread slide huh? I was busy letting the tank slide too lol. I just cracked open the last bucket of salt of the original 10 I bought. I've been doing 50g water changes every 2 weeks instead of weekly for about 2 months now to keep costs down some. I haven't tested my levels in over a month but plan to tomorrow :redface: My TDS has been 1 from the DI for a while now and I'm even cool with that. I'm letting'er coast =)

I did however beat my hair algae problem. The valonia has taken off since and even though I'm slowly making process on the anularis algae it's still rampant (and sucking my calcium to boot :twised:).

You'll notice I'm rockin the black background again... lovin' it too I might add. The blue looked more natural and endless and the black did make the tank look 3 feet deep (like it is I guess) but that was the best $20 I ever spent on bedding. I hung 2 king-sized black sheets on the fishroom wall. Very low VOCs =)

You sure have a beautiful tank Brett. And take even more beautiful pictures :) looks great.

Looking killer dude!! Colors are sure popin!!

HOLY SMOKES!!! I can't believe how freaking unreal your tank is looking Brett, you've really mastered those little sticks eh?

Thanks guys. Growth has really been slow lately and I'm sure cutting water changes in half is to blame but I'm not really in a rush lol.

Here's a little sloppy video work for you. YouTube did not detect the copyrighted song... I can't imagine why :biggrin:
