    Here are some pics of my "Doomed Tank"

    I am currently upgrading the flow rate by adding another powerhead and upgrading the sump pump to 3500 ltrs per hr.

    Just awaiting delivery :(

    I also have this leather mushroom, but Im a witts end with it. For some reason it never ever fully expands, it closes up and then gets rid of a thin mucas layer but never fully opens.

    Only once have I ever seen it fully open ..... some 15cm wide I reckon.

    Any ideas please.

    Doomed tank indeed, its looking pretty good actually. All the usual new tank syndrome algae/bacteria things going on. Will be looking great in 6-12 months once they burn out. You're doing a great job of turning things around.

    Just a wee suggestion for the leather, as I have one very similar. Mine loves bright light and lots of flow, it is stretching out of the water directly under my 250w metal halides and is just to the side of the flow from my Tunze 6100. Might be worth moving it to the top of the rockwork, more in the middle, and point a powerhead just past it. Let me know how it gets on ;)
