    Mishaps

    gotta get it all out

    nice tank ken! thanks for the input. my wife and i were talking today as we removed some cc about cutting off some pieces of our galaxy and letting it grow on the bottom like grass. your tank bottom looks pretty killer. that gives me something to think about

    gotta get it all out

    that all helped alot. thankyou. i think ill go with 1/3 cc,1/3 bare, 1/3 dsb ;D.....after all the reading and research i did today, you are right, its what ya want. there are successful tanks with every bottom and there are wretched tanks with every bottom. so, i guess a nice sand bed is gonna...

    gotta get it all out

    it has crossed my mind to go bare bottom. is it truly better in the long run? i have no problem going in that direction but i always thought a 3" bed was the way to go. how would i benefit in the long run with it?

    Brandon's WTH was I thinking 125 gallon madness

    it just floats in there. one thing i like to do is when i do my water changes, i flip the clump of cheato so the bottom gets light. not sure if it makes a difference but it grows pretty fast so....rock,sand and cheato is plenty. ive been thinking of a couple mangroves to add to mine...they seem...
