thanks for the imput I looked at it and as of now it doesnt look like the "dead mans fingers" as it isnt branching...yet it could happen.

on another note: DIATOMS are here. I am officially getting a diatom bloom .... YAY ... hopefully it is a short lived one I hate this stuff.

Any suggestions on possible fish to keep in here or just go fishless? I plan on doing a 10% waterchange weekly and changing a polyfiber pad at the same time and cleaning it 4 days later. Also thinking of runing chemi pure elite now that they have "nano" sized bags. thoughts?
