The tank is just begging for you to do up the sump area.
How did you add the bottom links to your post. Does it do it for you automatically or did you add it yourself

I like my sump... :-( Plus sumps are not cheap. I might go acrylic next time with a fuge section, or maybe a little frag rack, but I'm ok with it right now. Could use a couple filter sock holders though. . .

I added the links to my signature in the "User CP" settings page.

You might be able to get rid of the slime if you back off the pellet flow a sniff. Which aminos are you using? I've been experimenting with Acro Power since it seems to have such rave reviews, but I haven't been able to use it without getting red slime. Maybe I should just weather it.

I'm not running pellets, I'm manually dosing. I use AcroPower and a select combo of KZ products. Their LPS Amino's are incredible for chalices! My pink panther chalice grows very nicely!

I've noticed my Radion fans coming on through the day, so to make sure they get enough effective air cooling I installed a couple of 4" vents right above them. I think they look pretty sharp, and are so low profile they're hardly noticeable when viewing the tank.

I took my canopy off and installed the RMS rail and I have to say, I really like the look of it. I've been doing a lot of maintenance/'scaping in the tank lately, so having it open like this makes working in the tank a lot easier. I'll put the canopy back on once i've got everything where I want it in a couple weeks. Im interested to see if this increases evaporation. Anyway, things have been growing in nicely, still a few pieces to move to more optimal areas, but im pretty happy with how it's shaping up. Here's a few update pics.

I nearly lost a little Chili Pepper monti frag, but it's grown back and starting to encrust!

Hi Eliot
What level are you running your Radeions at.

[Duckhams]

50% right now and things are looking a little better since I turned them down.

[Bugger]

How do you like that omega 130 is it as quite as you say it is.
I have the 150 and its very loud.

Do you have or know anyone with glass suction cup lifting tool. My tank is to heavy to get off the floor with two people.
I think I might have to use 2 by 4s to shimmy it off the floor

[Duckhams]

Hey, sorry for the late reply! The 130 is quiet, but is it as quiet as YOU think it is, I don't know. I love it personally. Not sure about the suction cups tool, try a local glass company.
