nice tank

tank feels brighter than before. the Loaches like to burro in the corners and the few pieces of gravel that were left in the tank get exposed. Sometimes funny to watch the Severums spit sand out as they swim...i seem to miss them scoop it up. Overall, I am liking it. and having a Canister...

OK, finally getting some photos up and will try to post them here. BEFORE SHOT: I was dismantling the tank some to remove some algae build-up on plant leaves. and figured I won't bother adding anything until the sand switch. Full Tank Shot Tank Shot by BJMRamage Photos, on Flickr another...
