Not that you have the decency to ever provide us with photographic evidence or anything!

Ever since you asked me for photo's in my swim suit I've been a little hesitant to post.

I have run them since the beginning, and Delphinus and myself are probably one of the first. Still running them, still no algae!

I myself, still need to clean my glass, but it is more of a whitish film that will build up after about 4 or so days, I am dosing Coral Snow, so it could be that on the glass, but otherwise water is crystal clean, glass overall always clean, and parameters are in check.

Remember the key is tumbling them slow, NOT FAST!!!
