    It’s obvious you have put a good many hours in to this tank and it shows in the end product well done. As a fellow planted tank enthusiast I can relate to how much work goes in to a tank to keep it looking like this, again well done.

    Thanks for the kind words, this tank has some nasty amount of BBA, but since adding the 5 SAE's and dosing plenty of ferts, they are now something of the past!
    Thanks again!

    Amazing tank, really pretty.

    Why 2 canisters and a powerhead instead of just one big canister, doesn't it make maintenance more tedious?
