I decided to turn this first post into a fts progress report. Hopefully I will remember to update it once in a while.

 

Nine months of water farming and that's what I have to show for it. Well, that and a whole lot of lessons learned.

Wow, nice tank! 8)

 

Very nice tank, keep it up

 

Looking great man keep em coming

 

Well done.

 

There's the false percula. I thought he was great... Then he bit me, which was funny. Then he bit me hard enough to draw blood. I don't like him anymore.

 

very nice...

 

A quick rundown of the tank as it sits today:

- 24 gallon Aquapod
- stock PC lights
- replaced stock pump with a pair of maxijet 900s
- replaced stock filter with a custom rack which holds filter floss, carbon, nitrate remover, and phosphate remover
- creative tubing and a hydor to reroute water flow in a turbulent fashion

I want to upgrade the lighting, but with the weather getting warmer I think I will hold off until September or so.
