The tank is done. I have been doing a bit of decorating. I have 13 fish. Mostly gobys. Got to look hard to find them. Had the diatoms come, sand sifters were added. Some hair type algae is starting to grow. Maybe I will turn on the UV if needed. Will add a lawn mower to cut that grass if it gets too long. Maybe the coraline will come soon and starve it out. Running carbon now but no GFO or Cal reactor. Everytime I started up a GFO reactor on other tanks, I got red slime cyno. Weird, or do they feast on iron? Used Randy's part B mix to bring my Alk and pH up. Now at Alk 9.3 and pH 8.14. I have a Co2 issue when the a/c is on. Will run fresh air to the skimmer via a pvc pipe to the garage. The clean garage. No gas cans or stuff this one. Mines a mess. I do have an extra 20" canister I could run as a Co2 scrubber. Media is expensive.
Here are a few pictures. The froggy is about the size of a football
