    Red carpet........But not for VIP's

    While everyone in the tank is doing well..........so is the the cyanobacteria......While overfeeding is no doubt partly responsible.......I expect that the light spectrum is also contributing. After water changes with a light vaccuuming the substrate looks sooo much better but within 24 hours...

    Back Wall - To Paint or not to paint??

    What do you think?? I think I'll rip off that silly Greek Amphitheater background and paint back of tank black or dark blue. What do you think would be best? Pics would show up contents of tank better too, huh!! What kind of paint do you people use??

    Thanks BigAl07

    The coralline is doing a little better now that air-conditioning is controlling major temp fluctuations in the tank!! The brown slime algae result of the temp flucs has settled down considerably which I hope is going to allow the "desirables" do better. I think I may see a sign of some macro...
