This is an awesome tank. I miss my old macro tank(s). Keep an eye on that caulerpa though, it can smother all the other cool algae.

thanks! I think this caulerpa is one of the least invasive of the bunch but yeah i'm definitely keeping an eye out for it.

Very nice tank!!.. You've inspired me to make one. How much water changing do you have to do with no filtration system? Where can i find macro algaelike the red grapes and others nice stuff. All the ones i saw online dont ship to CA.

[leonel619]

thanks. Ive since upgraded to a 34g solana but still follow the same maint routine. on the 5g i would only change about a quarter of a gallon to half a gallon of water at least once a week. worked well for me and never had any issues. I don't use any kind of filtration on my solana either other than a water change once a week.

this is where i ordered a lot of my macros. They are in florida. I think the ones that most wont ship to california are the caulerpa types.
