    Nitrate level is dropping. SLOWLY. I beleive I'm somewhere around 30ppm last time I checked. I quit testing all the time because there was no point. I did just do a severe cleaning of the rocks and cleaned the crap out of the sump so hopefully that will help take me down even further.

    You read my mind, I just took pics yesterday but didnt upload them yet.

    Caught the domino damsel witch was a PITA to say the least. And moved my pair of clowns over from my 29. They seem to be loving life so far, besides one that decided to camp over night in the overflow box.

    Diatoms have slowly disappeared on their own and are basically gone. Finally got a mag float so I can keep the glass clean. Anyways, here's some update pics, nothing big. Tank was a little cloudy from cleaning rocks, and glass needed cleaned but oh well, I was too lazy.

    I really like the aquascape. Kind of like the "Bonzai" style.

    Haha thanks man. Yeah I may actually pick up my first piece of coral here in a little bit, if the LFS has anything I wanna try. I beleive I am VERY close to ordering an led kit, so that build may be showing up sometime soon. It's basically time to replace bulbs, and I cant bring myself to spend 80 bucks on ATI's when I can put that 80 bucks towards a rapid kit.
