    Tank looks great, fantastic progression shots, if you stop supplementing you find out how much the tank needs you. Congrats and keep up the good work. it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    Yes you can see a huge difference. The shot with mushrooms and canyon scape is also very nice, just different.

    Any sump or skimmer ?

    no sump just a chamber in the back that holds maybe 3 gal of water, its filled with rubble and chaeto.

    i do have a skimmer but i couldnt even call it that. its such a POS its the small nano skimmer made by oceanic for 14g/29g biocube. stupid 50 dollar skimmer. not many options for my tank.....bummer

    I have a nano too, and yes they are great systems if you can work with their limitations. You obviously have had great results. :)
