    Magic beans > carbon

    After using purigen on my big tank, it feels like I gotta have it on all my tanks. The beans are addicting!

      I use aquaclears on most of our nanos with Purigen, but we never use carbon...

          Well I'll try to find a store near me that has some purigen then. Jozle that would be awesome if you have the lid I have been looking for one online with no luck.

                Just ordered the finnex 26 watt 6500k clip on light. I was also thinking of getting some mesh and making a mesh wall at the back of the tank and trying to get moss to grow up through the mesh making a moss wall to hide the filters.

                                Love those Cardinals. Just remember, they are high pH, so don't add in a bunch of stuff that'll lower your pH.
