    I need to take pictures of my 12g Eclipse nano. That is half full of water from 09?

    Amazing growth! The coloring is fantastic too!

    I need to get myself a red planet.

    Thanks Chris. :)

    It would be much bigger I suppose if I had gotten a new lighting fixture. But over all I am very happy with it.


    BTW I used the 5 cc syringe for the API test and got a closer value.

    Lately I am dosing every day 2 parts to keep up. Need to get the BRS 2 part dosing system next and then next a new fixture, does it every end. :confused:

    Thanks. :)

    I have no doubt it will. Easy sps and a good one to test stability of tank for other sps. Is your tank wet yet?

    Why thank you Todd. :)

    That's good news, my API results were so much better after using the syringe.

    I love having dosing pumps on my cube, I dose 19.1ml of Alk and Ca per day. I might need to bump it up, lately my results have been lower. But dosing 1.1ml every hour 18 hours a day makes the tank more stable.

    And it never ends, I love adding things to my tank. But when your system can run on auto pilot for a week or so it makes this hobby more enjoyable. I was able to only feed my tank (nothing else) for 2 weeks with no issues.
