Was there a diff. in actinic supplementation between the two pics? Or did you change bulbs? Amazing growth!!!

Very nice, what are your gravel cleaning methods. Do you use a scraper all the way down the front of the glass inside the tank, do gravel wash the substrate.

Yes

It was the size of a quarter when I purched it 2 years ago.

Substrate is fairly new.

I plan on replaceing it every 4 months to keep it clean.

Rocks are sitting on cutting board, all the sand you see is only 30lbs, so its quite easy to replace.

[pnsnowboard]
