Thanks, Ande

Do maintenance on it weekly, including siphoning out detritus while doing a 15% water change. Pics of the crud we siphon out each week...

First pail of crud (siphoning out areas around the rock structurre):



Second pail of crud on right (turkey basting the crud from under the rock structure and moving it to the back of the tank, then siphon it out) compared to a pail of NSW:

What lighting do you have above that tank Bev?
The whole tank looks fairly pink to me. (Maybe its just my computer monitor... )

Ryan,

Yes it is pinkish. Lighting is two URI Aquasun VHOs and two URI Super Actinic VHOs on the tank. Over the weekend, changed the tubes to one URI Aquasun VHOs, one URI Super Actinic VHOs and two URI 50/50 VHOs. Here's a pic of the new lighting from this morning:



Willow,

Can't remember which one I originally said was going to be the fishless, cap tank. When all was said and done, decided the 37g would be better fishless, so I made it into the cap tank. Pic of it as of last week. Tank is very blue. Lighting is one ARC 14000K MH:





Siphon a lot of crud out of this tank too. All rock in the 37g has been newly cured and is still probably still shedding a bit of dead stuff, even though I swished the rock in changewater 2-3 times during curing. This tank was set up when the 67g was set up.

Bev, are those all 1 piece chunks of rock? I've never been able to fine such obscure and interesting pieces, they look really cool.
