It was great meeting most of you for the first time! I had obviously already met a few people, so I think that's what made me a little more comfortable
I'm going to be setting up some server space for Carl who has volunteered to put something together. I'll probably throw a thread together as well...since one of the things I did was take pictures of people
As long as Brian keeps on top of things, the algae shouldn't be a major issue. I was talking to him and he said he wasn't sure if he would be using Seachem or ADA products to maintain the tank. I made sure he understood if he used Seachem that he'd have to dose higher than recommended. IIRC, Tony also made sure he understood that the ADA substrates that mostly made it there from ADG

would probably carry the tank for the first couple of weeks of water changes.
And as for no one really talking until I got there...I've been known to be a closet catalyst. Maybe it was all of the KNO3 I was carrying in!
