This explains where I got all my bristle worms from.
The biggest one I've pulled out so far was 1" wide, an absolutely ugly MFer.

Thank you so much for giving me WORMS! Haha!

I can't wait until you get this tank flourishing like your old 210. And just remember that you can always fit the wife INSIDE the tank the next time there's a disagreement.

I have been busy for the last week or so, didn't get much done. I have also been fighting off a new tank syndrome hair algae outbreak since I nuked all my rocks by fresh water dipping everything for 4 minutes to kill all the pests.

I am almost finished my skin for the tank, all it left is fill and sand then off to a good friend of mine's shop to get it paint it.

I finally did some testing last night alk is at 6.5, cal is at 500, and mag is around 1100. No wonder the hair algae is growing out of control, I bumped my alk up a couple of points and plan to do a water change later.

Here are a couple of recent photos.

Tank is looking good, must say I love the rock placement as it looks nearly identical to the way I did mine.

Thanks for the compliment. The rock work took me a fair amount of time to get it right. I think thats the single most time consuming part of setting up a tank. I have done my fair share of fruit stand look so this time I wanted some thing different. I am even considering take out a few more pieces of rock just to make it look cleaner...

Ps love to see what your tank look like.

I will have to get some current shots and update my thread, no real huge changes to the tank itself but I did just complete a sump and equipment overhaul, if you check my profile it will direct you to my build thread.
