This week I did a complete overhaul on my IM 15gal cube. This thing has stressed me to no end which is why im posting about it here lol. Over the past week or so I have installed a new return pump the mighty jet 528 (sprayed gallons of water all over the floor), built and installed a new negative space rock scape ( aquarium epoxy is not your friend) and im currently battling cyano because the tank got moved across the country less than a month ago. Im starting to dose microbacter to hopefully prevent future problems. Whoever called this hobby relaxing lied but almost 3 years in starting my second tank and im still enjoying the journey. If anyone has tips or tricks feel free to reach out.
