Just a few quick shots from the iphone today as I was doing some trimming. There's been a lot of growth in this tank, both plant and algae. I've tried a few methods of hydration on the walls to try to beat back the algae, and the current method seems to be ok... Instead of steady drip, or daily mistings, I run the drip bar for 5 - 20 minutes once every other day or so. probably not as good as fog or mist would be, but not so wet as to give the algae the upper hand it had with it running all the time. Between the water being filtered tank water, and the high bioload of dozens of baby crabs, there is a lot of extra nutrients that cling in high traffic areas. Not much to do except let plants that take the abuse better fill in those areas.
