Is already more than half full but can transfer anything yet cause I had an amonia spike of .50 so I added some bacteria supplement and now is reading 0 so im gonna give it a few days and see how it does. Then Im gonna add about 4 pepper mint shrimp and not feed them so they can eat a few aptasias I have in there

Lol actually they great filters if you manage to keep a bunch on a dark area like a blacked out sump making a cryptic zone

Just got the Metal Halide done I still have to twick the lights cause the weight of the cable is making them lean. But yea I went with halide, I had leds but it was gonna take me more time to build a hangers for my leds and plus I had to solder all my new leds and thats takes time so I went with this sinse they already had brackets.

Why is the tank not full? How are you filtering the water?

Typed from my phone, because I have nothing better to do.
