Sorry for the inconvenience.

I love it!

Some ballsy lighting you've created.

Please do take a third and fourth opinion on the matter, my notes are just another angle. Do a search with the scientific name of the fish, Gymnothorax tile .

hi, sorry i have not ventured on the site in so long, after loosing my clowns , it became more and more difficult.. it was pretty tough to watch them pass ( bad meds-my fault) and lost the heart to replace them.

I'm too happy with the plant growth in the tank. Have to do something about it. Even though the Valoya led fixture seems to do the trick, I'm a bit dissatisfied with the color.

Thank you so much for your words, glenna.
I love finding inspiration from other hobbyists' projects. Nothing makes me happier than to hear someone is inspired by mine.

Thx, everyone. A little update: The lazy pruner I am, samolus took over a bit https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QtT6vj_VOUc/Tvb6lmRYW6I/AAAAAAAAAuE/mc6D8oH9BvU/s800/DSC_0014.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N3yiUCBdTSs/Tvb7TWz0aiI/AAAAAAAAAu4/mPl-NWE_als/s720/DSC_0017.JPG Still blooming nicel...

A short story of how sometimes you don't want to trash plants that look bad. Here are my Samolus valeradi s when I bought them: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rPSFc693X5s/TE2gaddhccI/AAAAAAAAAD8/60nC-6z-gis/s640/DSC08045.JPG Here's what they looked like a few weeks after planting: https://lh3.go...
