My setup skims off the surface without overflows. Tunze's are nice... How are you finding the Hydors? I can't imagine you're getting enough flow...?

Lookin good!

My build will be going slow. I don't plan to have water in it for another few months at least. I'm buying some dry lace rock, and doing an experiment of sorts. I'm going to "cook" it in bins in the dark and feed it bacteria, vodka, and ammonia for 3 months. See what happens. It's supposed to make some pretty dang good live rock. My little tank has bubble algae, so I'm hoping that if I use dead rock to start that I'll be able to create a tank that is bubble algae free. No one seems to know of any way to get rid of that dang stuff. It's not so easy like hair algae, red slime, or diatoms!
