stupid snails...

I have a couple of bulldozers in the tank that constantly knock over frags/etc. This time it is serious. The pipe organ below has been growing for the better part of a year. The other day I look in the tank and it has nearly been ripped in two and partially separated from the wall...

The ATO is fixed

I just did my first water change in some time. The tank has been neglected for too long. All I've done to it is add some top off water every other day for the last couple of months (Even my fish look hungry).

It seems to be doing the trick for the moment. It sure will be nice top off once a week or so.
