spyder Algae Grower	2/18/11: Tank upgrade complete, man that was a lot of work moving everything from the old tank to the new one, angels already spawned in it. Going to wait a while before putting on the finishing touches and swapping out some livestock. Expect updates in a few weeks when everything is grown in.


Inkling Algae Grower	That's a pretty piece of driftwood you have there.


dorris Newbie	It does look nice, but I feel the scape itself is a bit too symmetrical for my taste. Also, there is just too much going on for the eyes. It's a little too busy with every plant being different, so it looses its naturalness a bit. I like the small pic with the top chopped off, if that were it, it would look better.


spyder Algae Grower	Redid tank and replaced flourite with eco-complete, looks much better now.


Abs Junior Member	nice work!


Mannie Bothans Planted Member	Nice job! I have a tank with the same dimensions. For how many hours each day do you run the t5HOs? And you run 4 of those at a time? For how long do you run the t8 each day?
