hahaha leave your eyes alone.
while it's the same bulbs paired in the fixtures the upper tank was 70% covered by floaters when pictured here and the lower tank was just cleared of frogbit.

How are the tanks doing? Your tanks really show what a low tech tank can look like. Love your tanks and ideas.

Tanks are almost balanced and easy peezy. Simple trim and a little dosing. Current pics.    I did have to thin the blyxa about 3 weeks ago.

Mike, I expect an update or I'll package up a box of tiger mosquitoes and have your lovely wife release them on you after you fall asleep.
Also, how do you keep your powerhead from clogging with the mulm in your sponge? Mine crawled to a standstill, I cleaned it out and it's doing it again not even a week later. It's a Marineland 660R and I've never had an issue with my aquaclear, but I'm using that on my 15 or I'd switch over. Any tips oh master of using simple filtration?

Hi trouble, Thinking once you clear the fines out of the water column you'll get more run time without cleaning. The Marineland 660R is slightly larger (I think) than the maxi jet 400's used on most of my tanks. When they quit throwing bubbles I clean the sponge but it's not often as I don't feel bothered by it. Even done every 2 weeks it's easy.

My issue is the placement. I so successfully hid it that I have to tear down part of my tank to get to it. I'm wondering if a different pore size might help extend it a bit. That was a great plan on hiding it. LOL.
