I like that you have everything on a tile... That way when you upgrade or move it is quick and clean
The plan was to cut new tiles to the full size, that one is the size of the old 5g that I cracked the glass on. Laziness took over and I never got around to it.

Mine… really isn’t much to look at yet. It’s a pile of rocks with algae, a small snail army, and four fish. But darn it, it’s MY pile of rocks and algae and snails and fish so I’m gonna be proud of it. Maybe I’ll even get a decent camera someday because my iPhone pics really don’t do a great job.

My evo 13.5, it’s a couple of years old. Haven’t had much luck with nutrient stability and have struggled with keeping anything other than anemones, GSP paly’s and inverts. I even have a bivalve growing under the big rockflower. Currently experimenting and trying my luck with a (mini) Donavan nitrate destroyer.

try a DYI algae scrubber. I just stick a cheatomax led light to the back of the first chamber of my AIO to grow algae and remove nutrient. I removed it now since it worked too well and I was having issue keeping my nutrient up.

I currently have chaeto in chamber 2 with a nicrew led light on a 13hr on period. It does ok and grows chaeto quickly but I like keeping my fish fat and feed heavily and this keeps my no3 high. The DIY nitrate destroyer is suppose to remove down to zero nitrates and adjustable up to your liking via flow and dosage. It essentially equivalent to doing a 10% water change every 24hrs. The guy who came up with the idea has a beautiful tank with no water changes. He adds trace elements and such.


edit: my chamber 2 light is indeed a innovative marine chaetomax light.
