Great growth, great pictures. Your tank 'does it' for me big style ;)

That is a very nice tank, I must have missed this post somewhere along the line.

There is some serious growth in the tank as well, a nice array of colours too.

Have you modified your Tunze Stream grilles? I've not seen Tunze Streams with wide grilles before.

Have you got any photos of your sumps as I noticed on your profile, you have 6 sumps.
