What a difference a year makes!

Anyone have pictures of their aquariums from January of this year? Would love to see a comparison with where it is now!

Wow, @*Ci* - that is some growth.

I'm going to remember to take a January picture so I can compare next year.

Jan 2023 a few weeks after tearing down the UNS 60U and transfering everything over to this tank. A 93g cube with 25g sump.

Early Dec 2023


Yesterday 12/22/23, major overhaul. Still a bit more to plant but...

Looking great guys!

@BigWave, how is the sump system working? I also see a gyre pump in the back. Is the laminar flow working for you?

@Art Love being sumped. Almost no maintenance what so ever. I did have to upgrade my 5micron filter socks the the plastic mess type with larger holes. Before it was change socks about every 3 days due to tank gunk and algae buildup. Now its weekly with water change. I also had lava rock as my biological media and swapped that out for nylon pot scrubbies. Honestly dont see a noticable difference.
The gyre is there and works great although its a Jeboa SCP 70 and is a bit too powerful. It blows the plants around so I dont use it much.
