Nytmare's new money pit.

[Nytmare]

Hello, I ended up upgrading my 29g to a 75G rimless. I could not be happier moving up in size, so much easier to maintain consistency and more room to play. System has been setup for about 6 months now. Funny thing, the cost is only around $8.45/month which is only $1.05 more than the 29g I was running (love my apex). Parameters are very constant now:

Parameters:
ALK: 10.88
Ammonia: 0.0
CA: 450
MG: 1440
Nitrite: 0.0
Nitrate: 0.25
Phosphate: 0.25
Salt: 35.1
PH: 8.1 (day) 7.95 (night)
Temp: 78
