    I have my tank up and running for a couple months now though I finally decided to take some before and after pictures.
    here are a couple pictures that I have to show you how dirty this tank and sump was when I originally bought..this was after I started cleaning it btw and in the picture of the DT you can see where the previous owner painted it black

    Complete Setup

    I did have pictures of how messy it was when I first was set the tank up though I thought I would skip that part and go right to the good stuff. Here is also a close up of the rock work I created...not sure if I like and may have to cut some of the rocks in half (yes they are that big). Living in a Condo makes things a little difficult to do. So I may just put up with it for a couple of years :( till my wife, son, and I find a home we can settle in.

    I wouldn't add any more turbo's,they are super efficient cleaners and the ammount you have is already maybe too many. You can supplement there diet with some nori.Keep an eye on them. If they stop moving around there is something wrong.
