Well its been running now for 2 1/2 months and its maturing very well. The nems have spread out and all found comfy spots for their bums and colors are holding.. if anything improving.

I did add an MP10 a month ago for more flow as the rics werent as happy as I wanted them.

Im still running skimmerless, mostly because ive been too lazy to pull all the rock out of the sump to make room for it. I think the nems and the rics are liking the water a little bit "dirty" so I think im going to keep it skimmerless.

The only thing I may change up is get the new lenses for the Radion.

Heres a few pics from tonight.





I dont know why but I just love this little octospawn


Ive been babying one little flame thrower mushie for 2 years now and its finally taking off.. its much more green than the blue in the picture


and yup.. had to try atleast a couple pf acan frags

It works fine for what I want.. With just nems and ricordea I don't want much flow and I didn't want to disturb the surface as I still want the look down effect.

I have it set on a pulse at the lowest speed I can get.

I was going to rig up a couple of the smallest maxi jets with magnets and put one under each of the overflow boxs.. But I got a wicked deal on two mpW 10's so I used one of those instead.
