Deckoz2302 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Dunno how your curve is doing. ...but this is what mine did the first 10 hours Link to comment
polarblair2000 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I love these tanks. I was perusing the ADA site a while ago just to fantasise about if I was to do a nano tank again what I would go for and I loved the look of the 60-F, slightly jealous but also happy I can watch someone else do it. Would love one of these at my computer desk. Looking forward to seeing this progress. Link to comment

Deckoz2302 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well I originally was gonna get the bubbleagus then locally found a e55 but couldnt get it at the time but I had them water test it. I dont think it would be to much different. My curve 5 is quite and it was like I threw it in the sump and it was broken in. No terrible micro bubble problem. Bit nice skimmate the firt 10 hours. All of today it skimmed 1/4 what it did yesterday but it was nearly black. Im happy lol Link to comment
JR! Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 sounds good. i cant wait to start mine. Link to comment
