Well I turned the light back up. It occurred to me if nothing was growing on the glass it probably wasn't growing anywhere else either.
and it got boring just having to scrape the glass and do a water change in 20 minutes Wednesday mornings.
Moving the tank set off a nitrate bomb. I was stupid and didn't make some new water to use after the move. Nopox is bringing it back down but my duncan ejected and gave up the ghost. I am not who I used to be and I can easily get to many balls in the air at one time now and some end up on the ground. Moving the tank and a baby shower with house guests
was too much. I had to do it while the muscle was here. Pick up the pieces and keep going.
I started using pickling lime in the ATO again trying to bump my paramaters a bit. Even using outside air I am dropping the pH below 8. The house is shut with the AC on now and all of these dogs are panting around the tank.
Chewy and Dyson are visiting so there are 9 right now.
I am really good at keeping fish but the other stuff is still somewhat a mystery to me. Sometimes it does really well and other times it looks unhappy.
The worst though is when some look really happy and some really poorly at the same time.
Tweaking and tweaking when you don't know exactly what the knobs do.
Lots of big things sitting around and I am excited to make them more than decorations in the room. There is even a doser and BRS 3 part mixing kit here.
That really big skimmer would make a cool lamp.

all this new stuff. My tank now doesn't look this good.
