a few pics I took today

This tank has only been up and runing for about six weeks it is comeing along nicely. I am runing this system as a ULNS and if you have been thinking about trying this I highly recomend it! My color and groth have never been so good.

Ultra low nutrient system. Carbon doseing such as vodka, suger, vinager, sodium ascorbate ( AKA vitamin C ) I dose the sodium ascorbate crystals found here
http://www.iherb.com/NutriBiotic-Sodium-Ascorbate-Crystalline-Powder-16-oz-454-g/10178?at=0 I also dose microbacter7 and brightwell aquatics coral amino. This is done to drive NO3 and PO4 down to zero or as close as possable.

Here's a few more.

I added this carpet nem for my black and white clowns but they don't even look at it. It was about 9in when I got it now 3 weeks later it's about 12in and it seems to get bigger every day! I'm starting to regret adding it it would be better if they would at least host in it.

This one is a actanic shot of my ORA ice tort.

Not sure what the name of this one is. Anyone know?

Nice. Have you tried the biopellets? Kinda pricey, but I was curious to see how they do.
I have been thinking about it but not yet.

I'd say the one under the tort looks to be A. Sarmentosa.... Thats what I was thinking.
