Thanks Todd,

I have some minor traces of culerpra growing in the cryptic section of my fuge, and a nice niche of razor taking hold in the same area. I like the look of the razor so I've been letting that grow. I was thinking about putting up some HO T5s in the cryptic side to turn it into a fragging area (don't like keeping them in the display) which would negate the crypt but allow additional area for more macro. I like the Chaeto in the current section as it acts as a screen/filter and the bugs really like it.


JR, I've increased my flow and until just recently haven't found that sweet spot. Now I have a good flow to the majority of the tank while still leaving some moderate areas for the softies and brain. I have a couple of ricordea that I'm partial to and I'm willing to put up with some cyano as a result.

All in all it seems to be working, but It has only been seven days since the end of my lights out time period and I'm not sure if that is the reason my cyano is in check.

I have two return lines, two Koralia 4s an MP something, and a Nano Koralia (will place into my fuge when/if I do the fragging area). One of the returns is a large Rio and provides a lot of flow, but it's also the one I turn off when I need to make water (sump level lowers and bubbles are blown in) and when I want to only send UV water into the display.

I like the idea of adding more variety to the fuge though...
