Very nice - excellent growth. Glad to see the Eye of Rah taking off for somebody.
I collect PEs, and I'm always looking to trade for ones I don't have yet.
Thanks for the comments.. I didn't want to change anything in the tank during this contest but the idea of a turf scrubber for nutrient export & pod growth piqued my interest so I recently converted my fuge into one, we'll see if that has any positive or negative effects.
those turf scrubbers are amazing, you can almost not even run a skimmer with those, i know people that run them with no skimmer. good luck with it!
sorry no build thread on the scrubber it's just something I threw together in one night. It's run off the old feed line to my fuge, the water level in the tank is at about 4".. two screens parallel to one another each tee'd off the line hang from the top of the tank, only two lights... it's not optimal but we'll see how it goes.
I'll probably update my main tank thread with some pics of it.
