Nano tank shots

Been a while since I took pictures of my 10g. I've got a PJ Cardinal and an orangespot goby in there somewhere... Also, wanted to try out the "drag n' drop" function. Boy that makes things easy!

That looks really great. How do you keep the sand so clean?

I just noticed but in the first picture it looks like you have a tidal wave going on!

Thanks everyone! The tank has been really stable aside from having real low alk due to me using Oceanic salt. I drip kalk, though, and that seems to help.

I use an AC110 powerfilter converted to a fuge on the back of the tank, which is what makes all the flow. There is lots of Chaetomorpha growing back there on a 24hr light cycle.

Every weekly water change, I stir all the sand up really good and let all the crud get into the filter. Then I syphon out the gravel and remove about 40% of the water and replace it right away. Then I take the filter off the back, change out the carbon and recharge the purigen if it needs it, and wash the chaetomorpha of all the crud it catches in the old tank water and put it all back. Takes about 1/2 hr and I have never had algae or nitrates or anything.
