My hope is that after the blackout, there's nothing left to compare.

An update for anyone following my blackout/biobomb approach:

3,000+ copepods (tigriopus and tisbe) and live phytoplankton (nanno, iso, tetra and thal) arrived from AlgaeBarn. Despite our warm Florida temps, my little bugs arrived at room temperature. Lots of movement and activity in the copepod bag. Floated for temp and dumped in, followed by a double dose of phyto. They call for 15 mL for my tank size, I added 30 mL. I'm also still adding 5 mL of Mircobacter7 and changing out my filter floss daily. The urge to peek inside is unreal, but the bags come off tomorrow night thankfully.
