tygger December 6, 2007 Share December 6, 2007 I thought the background by itself looked funny at first, but after you put real lr in front of it, it looks great! Looks like a big rock barrier to another section of the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My A1 Guys Ha, not cool lol, though it isn't the first time you guys have tried to scare me, ie. power went out, killed everything, CA overdose, Someone had to have Nemo and *****, or bought the giant green frogspawn....it never ends esp, when im away at school.... thanks for the comments everyone, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txaggies07 December 6, 2007 Share December 6, 2007 You are running an AC 70 as a fuge? I have an AC-70 on my AP24 for Carbon and whatnot. I was able to also get a CPR Bak-Pak on mine. I also put a fan on the back to keep it cool. The back of my tank is very full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendanG December 6, 2007 Author Share December 6, 2007 I do use my AC 70 as a fuge, and it runs great, I have never had a problem with NO3, NO2 or PO4 the trick that people often forget is that the impellers put out 300GPH, way to much flow in my opinion to create a beneficial fuge, the trick is to slow down the flow, the more contact your macro has with the water the more nutrients it can pull out, Mine is filled with Chaeto and LR rubble, filled with tons of pods, baby snails, brittle stars its lit by this 6,700k Betta Clamp on bowl lamp thing, was like $12 at petco I don't have a massive clean up crew, so its important that i stop the algae before it starts There is a thread on RC on how to build one, its all a matter of creating a baffle so your chaeto doesn't fall into the tank, and siliconing it and the baffle by the impeller to the inside of the filter, its really easy, and i can swear by them.
