Sad thing is she really isn't kidding, takes me a year to get the growth she gets in 24 hrs. And the colors are spectacular, pics do this tank no justice.

P.S if you really are thinning out Marie I would love a frag of that teal stag you have, a rogue crab took my last one and hid it under a rock (that rotten SOB) he has expensive taste, when I catch him he gets to visit the Snapper.

I had a small piece of purple acro fall into (behind?) my rainbow stylo last year and this is the result

Gorgeous tank! So you don't use zeo or anything and don't do water changes that often and that is the result I am very impressed. Do you dose anything at all then? And what is your secret lol I have been struggling for a year now and can't seem to get any growth lol. Well nothing like yours anyways lol

Today I did the first water change in 6 weeks, I add 1.5 l of kalk/vinegar saturated top off water and 250 ml ea of cal and alk daily which isn't enough as it turns out. When I tested today (for the first time in 2 months) my alk was at 3.5 DKH

That is amazing I'm gonna let my tank do its own thing a see how that goes lol kinda getting tired of doing a test every couple of days and tinkering with the doser and skimmer every couple of days lol
