    Default Update to my Biotope

    Alrighty everyone, long awaited update with new rescape. I'm unning an FX6 and man, first canister I've used and the tank is so clear. I will be getting more in the near future... also, Finnex Planted + 24/7 are just an amazing work of lights. I absolutely love these lights, just using them for display and wow do they impress me. Getting closer and closer to stocking the tank. image1.jpg

    Looks really nice. I found my 24/7 was too much light once I removed my plants and had some algae issues. I have it toned way down now but really did like the 24/7 mode. Does the blackwater help with that ?

    Ryan, the tank has been running almost a month now with no algae problems at all.

    Niiice...love the placement of wood. It fills each water column but not too thick or thin or under done or overwhelming. Very cool.

    Looks great, the heckels will match perfectly I'm sure. When are they due to go in?

    Good to hear. I just recently have gone back to 24/7 mode. I really like the effect. The fish seem to like it also. They seem more lively in the mornings under the sunrise oranges of the light.
