bristle worms
 

My 30 gal tank has 100's of bristle worms and it is a very healthy tank.

Just a cool pic of a bw

My 45 is getting b/w's now but doesn't have as many.

On the 30 I'd never have to actually change the water. The nitrates now stay
at 10ppm

The 45 I have to change about 5 gal every 2 weeks. The nitrates would hover
about 25-30ppm.

this morning 20ppm

I think as the rocks cure the 45 it will get better. I'm getting some good
algae growth on the new lr. starting to look more homogeneous.

that dsb must be 4 months old by now in the 45 gal. added 100 lbs of lr
about 2 months now.
