Your rock wall is probably the best one I've ever seen... I don't generally like how they look but yours turned out really nice.

Wow, a Nephthea... pretty cool. Do you need to feed it?

I'm not usually a fan of rock walls either but in this tiny tank it makes it look like you're looking at something bigger or at a snapshot of a section of reef etc.

I don't feed the nepthea directly. It is a photosynthetic type and while I make an effort to not overfeed it may also pick up the odd stray particle of food as I do try to leave a few extra bits for the shrimp etc. floating around.

Thanks. It's hard to get the colour balance right in the photos as the LEDs put out such a narrow spectrum it throws off the white balance and exposure. I have to spend more time figuring that out.
