Thanks for all the kind words, everyone
Danny,
The 37g has about 6 main pieces of rock. I hand pick all my rock from the lfs for shape and size and take into consideration what it is I am trying to accomplish in a particular tank. However, once I get the rock home, cure it and get it into the display tank, the aquascaping never comes out quite the way I envisioned it at the lfs weeks earlier.
Doug (BCOrchidGuy),
Kind of an eye opener to see all that crud in those buckets, eh? This amount comes out of the 67g EVERY WEEK
I can't imagine going back to having a sandbed - not after going BB and being able to siphon out this much potential algae and cyano problems.
BTW, it takes both me and my husband to do the water changes and siphoning on our three tanks. At first, I didn't think we would be able to work together on it, but with lots of direction, Chris has become an excellent helper
Dano,
We've got the weekly maintenance down to a science
Now I've got to get the water chemistry stuff down pat for each tank and I'll consider myself a master
