Behind the blur image,i can roughly make out the current look of your tank. Kinda excited about you posting clearer pictures,but as of what i can make out,it looks great!

Lookin' Goooood Cooper! Keep up the great work - you're going to have a massive jungle on your hands before too long with all those fast growing stems! Everything looks really lush and healthy - great job!

Nice tank. Everything looks real healthy.

the_noobinator · 08-22-2006, 04:19 PM

do you find that the 20 watts help at all?

Y0uH0 · 08-22-2006, 04:57 PM

I say it looks really great. Simple layout but yet very beautiful.

xcooperx · 08-22-2006, 05:25 PM

yeah noobinator, i found out that the 20 watts help, especially at the front corner of the tank, i found out that its just the balance setup if you have a DIY co2, all the plants are pearling evryday including the high light plants like L. Aromatica, if i try to turn off the Flourecent you'll see the different.

Youho thank you very much for the comment
Jen thanks

**A Hill** · 08-22-2006, 10:26 PM

Jen thanks

the reason i ask is because my 30XH was 65W over it now, however i do have my old strip still, but since my tank is only 1ft from front to back, i didn't know if it would be worth it.

xcooperx · 08-23-2006, 01:00 AM

try putting it and see the difference, Good reflector also help, i use the inside bag of potato chip as a reflector on my 20watts NO, Mylar sheet will also do the trick
