Clean glass: Check!

Ca: 400ppm
Mg: 1100ppm (just a guess lol)

Colour: Poopy as because of the few little bumps lol
Halide: Replaced yesterday (8/12)
T5's: Replacing once they come in, so over the next week or two!
Matrix: Stirred every few days, finally starting to kick in I think :)
Current dosing:
- 3 drops of Pro Bio S
- 3 drops of NP Pro
- Component 1, 2 and 3

Once things have settled and the acro's have cheered up again I want to play with some Vitality and Build from AF to see what happens, boy do I love tinkering! lol
Sounds like we're on the way to a proper sps display again haha! So how about some pictures for everyone :)
Lets start with some more detail :) Right side is zoa city with some of my prettiest pieces!


The middle is light city and the centre of attention, my maxima :)


And finally the left side is just acro town :)






And finally, we'll finish with a lovely FTS :)

I know slow and steady wins the acro race, but this kind of competition makes me want to change all my light bulbs fortnightly and do weekly 100 percent water changes.

Well that's a compliment if I've ever had one!! That's made my day Nils :) thanks for the awesome compliment!!! I still need to decide on how to make my acan garden but that's a challenge for whenever inspiration inspires me lol

I would be interested to see what actually happens when that kind of thing was being done to a tank haha Blast the acro's into submission!

Thanks matey :) I appreciate it! Hopefully I'll be able to get you to hit the floor in the coming months then ;) Few little quirks I need to sort out but then it should be colour town everywhere!
