I have also added 3 Aquaclear powerheads on a wavemaker timer. I would take another pic but durring the cycling period, I grew some algae and it doesn't look too good right now. I did a 50% water change last week and will be doing another 30 to 40% on Wednesday. The algae build up is coming down and hopefully the tank will be ready in the next week or two.
