My Tanks! Well, My Attempt!

[trinac]

The skimmer is okay, it makes some bubbles but they dissapate fairly well in this little buckets lined with foam that the water falls into.

I have a mechanical filtration system that is like a box that sits under the tank. It works REALLY well, the problem is that I don't, and it gets clogged with crap and throws the nitrates / phosphates right back into the aquarium. The algae are all for this system, but we are at war, so I don't care what they think.
