Some comparison for what it looked like vs where I'm at right now

I've been fighting dinos ever since. Tried Dr. Tims method, blackouts and overfeeding but nothing. Finally went and spent money i didn't have on a UV as a last ditch effort for black friday. Been running since along with dosing nitrates and phosphates. Levels other than 0.

Forgot to turn my heater back on after a water change overnight once so I bought an inkbird controller. (literally one thing after the other)

During the fallow period, my nutrients bottomed out and i ended up with Coolia dinos. (one thing after the other i swear). Stopped doing water changes and ghost feeding like crazy but nothing was helping. Sand bed was overrun by dinos, rocks taken over by GHA and what I would imagine was...

After that, i did 80 day fallow period. Then out of nowhere, my male clown died followed by the female a week later. No idea what happened. Then one day i came home from work to find my longboard hawkfish on the ground. (somehow found an opening through the glass lid in the QT)

So as you all know, i had an inch outbreak. My stocking consisted of: 2 clowns(wyoming & snowflake), lawnmower Blennie, Yellow Coris Wrasse, Royal Flasher Wrasse, longboard hawkfish and a baby foxface (he brought the inch) Foxface died to icy first. Royal Flasher died the second I attempted to...

Trying to update this as i go. Not interesting for many but in case I ever want to turn to it and reference it in the future.

Excuse the grossness (trying to "dirty" my tank so haven't been cleaning it). But this is how I set mine. Same problem as you with the bulkheads too close. I used a cheap dremmel from harbor freight to basically grind down the sides of the bulkheads that were touching

I would do the Innovative Marine style but put a strainer on the full drain in case any fish or snail somehow makes it back there. I tried doing the other 2 but had problems with noise and the full drain not setting the level correctly whenever I shut off the pump

I had to shave a little of mine too in order for the bulkheads to sit tight

Yea no problem at all!

I'm in brick

Seriously? That's awesome! I haven't heard of that before

So I just started culturing phyto and just wanted to share my results. I just harvested. Gonna clean everything out and restart the culture. It's a lot more than what I know what to do with but i really enjoy it

I wish I had been around for this. Those are beautiful

Why couldn't you have this like a week ago! I JUST had to buy a UV for my tank lol great deal

I've seen some people have some good luck with them. I've only purchased 4 fish from them. 2 of them didn't even make it home. 1 didn't last the night and 1 is still alive today. They didn't look good when I picked them up. Wasn't able to check since it was the beginning of COVID and it was...

How much would you sell a torch for?

I live in Brick so it's a far drive for me. I've bought fish from them before though

It's absolutely insane. It sucks because I understand that on their side, they need to make more because of the hit these companies took because of COVID, but at the same time, a lot of people also took a hit on their job so they're also short on money. So you want to support these businesses...
