Update video on my tank
Enjoy.
Also if you would like to hear me talk **** with my friend the australian aquarist for 3 hours

Nice guest spot with your mate! Thanks for sharing. I've made it about half-way through. Some good info shared, so far. I may watch the rest of it another day but will preempt viewing it with some form of stomach analgesic in order to prepare myself for seeing your face again. 🤣

Yes, I did, and it sucks that it did as much damage as it did.

I also like the idea of running T5's over a FW planted. I used to run very specific T5's, that are no longer available, on my FW planted system. Like you, I had 8 lamps.
