haha i wish dude. i still have to get glass for the euro bracing and a new piece cut for the overflow. i need to get josh to get me some acrylic rod when he comes back up to red deer, i need a sheet of black acrylic to cover the overflow, i need to find some black egg grating, i still need to get the rest of my rock from greg, he has it running in a rubber maid if i remember correctly. lots of work dude lots of work

Looking great! I have a black background on my tank and find that I am battling trying to keep it religiously clean because it picks up green and purple coraline spots very easily I guess you can't really get away from that though. I wonder if white might highlight the coraline even more

well i have white on my nano kien and all it shows really is the stringy algea that likes to grow on my glass haha. but im sure if a guy runs a low nutriant system you wont get as much of that would you?

ya I've never really had a problem with stringy algae but coraline is my nemesis! I can literally see that stuff grow and spread before my very eyes..

I would assume reducing nutrients to ultra low levels would cut back on the stringy stuff.

thats what i was thinking as well. plus my nano is still fairly new so my coraline isnt out of control yet lol. i remember watching it grow like crazy in my old 90g i had set up.
