    Duncan's First Attempt at "Iwagumi"

    Also, the photo-period is currently 12-10pm, is that too much? Thought i'd keep it long to give the HC a good start before adding fish!

    Duncan's First Attempt at "Iwagumi"

    The HC is starting to grow really well, even around the edges, but this morning I noticed quite a bit of stringy algae starting to grow. It's due for a 50% WC tonight.. Any ideas?
