The acans are looking fantastic man! They'll be covering those tiles in no time. I'm looking to add a gold hammer like that also. Looking good brother
 
It's looking awesome John! I can't even tell that there is watering the tank because it's so clear. I am glad that algae bloom is over with!

I'm bad about talking about things as well. Sometimes I feel like if I did, it would be easier on me. I hope you find peace and resolution in your situation brother. We're here with/for you.
 
Is it possibly coir fibers from feeding white worms?
They're not that long. Maybe if the toadstool took a class in underwater basket weaving.....😆
