I started the arduous task of scraping the back panel recently. Hope to finish it up today.

    Looks great Marc. What are you using to scrape the coralline off?

    I have a Mag Float with a Easy Scraper glued to it. Because it's the back of the tank, I'm having to work from inside the tank with the wetside only.

    Looking awesome Marc! Those birdsnests are incredible.

    Speaking birdsnests. I've been meaning to ask you how much current yours get? Mine is in a lower flow area of my tank, and while growning well, it has blunt, more random looking branches than yours do. Obviously I'm guessing the flow is the problem.

    Neither of mine are in a high flow area. If you look at the FTSs, you'll see one is in the back right corner, and the other is walled next to the right overflow. The penductors create good flow in the tank, and a Vortech at each end creates competing water movement.

    There is a smaller one that is in front of the bright green one, and it is under the path the Vortech pushes. It's the honey brown colored birdsnest, but is growing nicely. You can kind of make it out in the second FTS (full tank shot).
