There has been a LOT of stuff done to my 40g lately, and I haven’t taken any pics of my 10g, so here are some updated pics of both.

Wow, so I got the 40g up and running tonight!  I planned on it, I planned everything I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it, but that doesn’t mean that I actually expected to ever finish, let alone for everything to work!  It took some tweaking, and I’m sure it’ll take some […]

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted an update on my 10gal tank, and that’s simply because I haven’t changed anything about it.  The cyano has gone away thankfully, and things are back to normal.  The clownies are doing great, the zoa’s are growing, and the mushrooms are both kicking some butt!  I had […]
