Okay okay, I didn't want to drill the 75 gallon tank cause there is no room under the tank due to the frag tank being so close to it (I needed the room for lighting the frag tank. I do start the siphon with my lips, but NOT on the PVC that goes into the toilet. I pull the black hose off, start the siphon, then plug it into the contraption that hooks on the toilet.

BELIEVE ME, I THOUGHT ABOUT WHERE MY LIPS GO TOO...

you guys are funny!

Hope the fish clear up soon! Fish crap is yum... is what they are saying, huh! I wasn't aware of that.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the 75 gallon tank had a sticker that said "Do not drill, Tempered glass." I think that's the main reason I didn't drill. I was tempted to drill the side though, but didn't want to risk it.

Oh... Well the sides would have been OK in most likelihood but you wouldn't be able to drain it down as much. So there ya go anyhow.

Here are some growth shots from about 5 - 6 weeks of growth. Sorry the pictures are bad. My wife was out with the camera, so the after pictures are with a cell phone:

Sorry, I'm not great with latin names or technical names of the sps:
