Thanks for all your kind comments! It is coming along and the nems are all starting to find their comfy spots. Im finding that we go and look at that tank much more than the others.. The nems all kinda move around so it's a new view every day. I'm using a Radion for lighting.

The tank is running good! I had to take out some of the rock, as the nems were going under, instead of onto them. Heres some pics just taken today.

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
