I have been revamping our 72 bow at work the past several weeks . It was neglected really bad and was full of BB and string algae. I added more lighting and new bulbs, a couple magnum 350's, some rocks and a few angels. I also started doing regular water changes and dosing ferts.

Thanks guys.
I love to have alot of water flow . I was running the 350's with diatom powder and as you can see , crystal clear water.
The emperor's are used with the bio wheels only, no mech filtration. The magnums for water polishing only.
I had the magnums just lying around so I figured I'd put them to use somewhere. I also had an extra 110 vho fixture that I added to the 2x110's that were already on the tank.

It's ok, low maint no co2, holding it's own. I really would like to change the lighting and add cannister filters and all but don't want to spend any more money on it.
It needs a good cleaning (algae on the back glass) . I don't spend alot of time on it, water change one a week .
