Ya I run a filter sock and change it out every few days when it starts overflowing.

I had about 2 cups of brs gfo in the reactor.

I'm also hoping that the cheato I've added will aid in phosphate removal.

What's a good spectrum bulb to use for growing cheato. Right now I have a 13watt cfl at 2700k.

I think it's equivalent to a 100w. I got it at Walmart.

Here is a full tank shot, sorry for the blueness.



I think it's looking much cleaner so far.

A pic of some brown clove polyps, a couple of leathers, my maxi min, duncans starting to open up and a fox coral.



This is an acan I've had for awhile that's taken quite a beating and is now on the road to recovery.



I'll post some more later, gotta go shopping.
