Thanks Billy! Little by little it is coming together I hope...


Got my water test results back from Steve9999 (did a trade with him for a water test from AWT) AQUARIUMWATERTESTING.COM We did a trade and he sent it in under his account.

I just changed out my rowa that morning. Guess I need to use a little more. I have only been using about a Tablespoon every 2 weeks. My colors are out of this world - so it must take a little more to affect them. That or the zeo...
I also haven't been dosing calcium like I should. I am getting the doser up this weekend.

Pretty happy with the results. I wasn't really sure on the phos and nitrates since the tests are so hard to really tell.

Thanks Steve - great trade

A crappy out of focus picture of my Picassos in their "new" downsized apartment since I cut the nem' and the tank of a Foxface. I didn't realize how fat he is!

Thanks Steve. Its fun taking pics and showing off all the hard work! Now I am just waiting on that new Canon to come in the mail. I'll just have to ask for forgiveness from the wife when it comes! lol

I took a few pictures with the new Canon the other day. This is the only one that came close to the color of the coral. Its washed out and not as bright - but it was on full auto with the halides on.
