    Well that's not what I wsnt to hear, but good news for Jebao. Lol

    I think i've convinced myself that it's inadequate. Those Euphylla really stand out to me. They barely move and may explain their slow growth.

    Yeah I think you may want more flow. It never hurts, right? :)

    Great thread

    Nice Video

    Nope, sure can't.

    It's grown 3 more or to 3 total?

    Nearly constant, random motion. There might be moments when they're still in between eddys.
