Its looking great, the HC and Tonina is growing in great, and the rocks are awesome....one bit of criticism is to hide the co2 diffuser so its not in the front.... its look better IMO.....but overall looks great

danepatrick · 09-19-2006, 03:52 AM

danepatrick · 09-19-2006, 04:11 AM

what about filtration?

turbomkt · 09-19-2006, 05:35 AM

Filtration would be the Azoo Palm filter.

Erm. Time to plant a nano tank! =)

Where'd you get the 2.5g?
