Since I'm still waiting for my nitrites to completely come down (0.3mg/L for 3 days, now), I've been staring at the tank, thinking about my rock arrangement.
I generally like it, but think I may have built it too high, with the highest point only about 3 inches below the surface.
(If I do more than a 20% water change, it will be exposed).
One of the rocks is touching the back wall for support. The rest are fitting together surprisingly well.
But I may have some LR a little too close to the sides.
How much room do I need for the cleaning magnet (haven't bought one, yet. Been using a sponge type one, so far)? Are they thicker than an inch?
Any slim models that work out there?
And how do you take care of the back wall, if you have a refugium covering pretty much the whole back.
Do you just let it go, and hope for corraline to cover it up?
I wish I had a working digital camera. Ours is only partially functional, and the pics I took were abysmal.
