Mark,

Looks great! What do you do about bare bottom tanks? Syphon the nasties off the bottom when doing a water change?

That is the plan. Now that I added the TS6200 most of it gets kicked up and into the sump.

Looking good Wazz! I really like the color of that wood and the lil trim detail on the stand.

Thanks all.

I got some reasonalably price frags lined up for the begining of Nov. Pink and Green Frogspawn, purple and green hammer, orange cap and purple cap. The way things tested out I should be OK by then.

After looking at the tank for a few weeks I think I want to chage the scape. Try to open it up some. I am thinking that since I have the TS6200 I could point my penductors straight down behind the rock work. Good idea? I plan on getting some of the many small pieces I have and putting them in the sump.

BTW. I am getting my first algae bloom.

Can you easily move the penductors if necessary?

Yes. The elbows are not glued.

Then you can try it out like that (I would do it since you're BB) and if you don't like it, change it. :wink:

I played in my tank last night for a couple of hours and redid the scape and pointed the penductors down. In the process I relocated all the small pieces of LR to the sump. Having the returns straight down really pushes all the gunk to the from of the tank. I now have two piles with an open space between. Not sure if it will stay as is, but I like it better than how it was before. No pics, sorry. When I finished at 2330 I was ready for bed.

Well on top of that my wife was on the computer getting ready for the religion class she teaches. So even if I would have taken the pics I could not have uploaded them.

Well, we want pictures no later than 2330 tonight! Rockwork, plumbing, sump, full tank, and close-ups included!!!

That's 24 hrs from when you finished. Should be plenty of time! :wink:

The stream is only there because I had to move it last night and I have not been home today until now. I think I will just leave it there for now.
