The water cleared up as much as i think its going to until the biological filtration takes hold and i start doing water changes sooo heres some pics.. enjoy








carbonated water worked like a charm to remove the cloudiness from the water




Heres my next challenge... i want to make a hood to shield the halide from lighting up my entire room, blinding me and my animals, and to hide the cords and moonlights. but i dont want to have the hood touching the tank so it will be hanging 7 or so inches above the tank from this celing... that light may or may not be in the way... i kind of think its fine where it is.
