Looks good! Do you always keep your alk that high?

As High As It Will Go...not Really Usually 10-12

Okay, ALK being that high was the first thing that jumped out at me concerning the bleached acro frags. I've had mine bleach out and some RTN with higher ALK levels if I didn't raise them slowly and keep them stable.

Can I get one of the board members to move this to forsale, I am selling this as it is taking up to much room in the living room (I have an apartment) please PM offers as i don't even know a ball park fig, I have over 500 invested in this setup and it is only like 1 1/2 month old, selling it all.

Just create a seperate thread in the sale forum and add a link to this build so people can see the pictures. Add a asking price also, but you can put a OBO on it. I would move it but your for sale post isn't at the top so that may create confusion.

Same crap has happened to me in the past, a few times on this forum. Unfortunately, just because you share a common interest with someone, it doesn't mean they will stand by what they say. Sucks too!
