Looking good, but what is antphos

With that much light things should really grow fast, BTW that Candycane is a real nice bonus. It also gives the Goby a place to hang out.

Thanks,
Antiphos is like phosban. It is made by aqua medic, my LFS doesn't carry phosban so i figured i would try this. Your absolutely right the clown goby loves to frolic in the candy cane branches!
