Hi all,
Hope all has been well with you all..
Well after a 4 month absence, I thought I would provide a brief update...
More to come, but the pertinent points:
1. Tank is doing well overall.
2. Fish and plants are very healthy.
3. I swapped the twin eheim canisters for the wet/dry sump I originally purchased and am using a CPR overflow. I finished this swap last night.
4. Going to purchase two of the dimmable sunpower ATI 36x8 39w light fixtures to provide more even spread of PAR across the tank as the fixtures are 5" wider than my current 72" fixture. Will also allow me to view more off hours with minimal light. Will also allow me to have more PAR as I am somewhat limited now.
5. Fish - all counts approx
225 cardinal tetras, 75 diptail pencils, 80 rummy nose tetra, 6 var cories, 20 ottos, and a rubbernose pleco.

More pics and vids to come.
Take care!
