    Losing my enthusiasm!!!

    Thanks for all the comments, they've certainly given me a lot to think about. I Think I'm going to stick with it for a bit longer and see if I can get this cyano on the run.

    Help with my tank!

    Hi Julian. Any improvement since increasing intensity? I've recently started upping the intensity on my tmc 600's. I'm currently at 60% as of today having spent months trying in vain to get some growth with very low intensity. I'm hoping you have some positive news to report.
