Nothing exciting here. Nitrites are still climbing but the pods are breeding like mad in there. Got the light installed today and have the good ol' disco ball on the Solana again. Going back to the 150w looks like I have a NO T8 on there in comparison it's sad lol. Tank looks far brighter to the eye than this pic shows.

Lol thanks guys.

I swapped out the Eheim 1250 return for a 1262 tonight and the added flow is really cleaning my water column better than the trickle I had going before. Nitrites are slowly falling.

The black cap basslet I had waiting for me at the LFS perished. Pretty bummed about that so not sure what I'll do with that credit just yet.

better at the lfs than at home but sad either way.. can they order another in for you? tank does look great tho. i wish i had the money to upgrade my 90 to a 120 with starfire maybe when my inheritance money comes in. tank build in memory of gramma? or is that wrong.

"lastlight's 97 - get out yer Depends!" :razz:

Frankly I find it a little wild that all of your tanks so far have looked so damned spectacular. My tanks are all about making the insides look great to detract from the DIY-ness of the system. Yours look fantastic even without water in them. I can't wait to see where you go with this one :biggrin:

Lol seriously this build is so simple. I didn't even seal my wood it's like a whitewashed plywood cover slapped on! Thanks though! Maybe it's the drawer slides I've sorta made them my buildBeatch?

And you know where this build likely leads but maybe I'll have livestock in it for a little wee bit haha.

Nice disclaimer tho. Consider it adopted =)

Maybe its your creativity with lighting and photography then :razz: I wonder if it might be the white. I really thought Tony's tank room was sharp. Maybe I should paint my stand white and it will look more professional instead of the plywood and 2x4/2x6's that it is now.

And yes, those drawer slides are pretty sexy.
