I see two HOB filters in some of those pics. You run both all the time now?
What are those spiky clumped grass plants in the front?
Good looking setup btw

I have 2 HOB that I clean every other time. Since I have RCS the intakes of these are covered with mesh so the flow is greatly decreased.
The grass plant is Dwarf Saggitaria. Does very very well.

Very nicely done. The driftwood with the moss attached gives a real nice touch.
