Plan on doing another water change and manual algae removal this week and while doing that I'm going to move the tank out from the wall to repair the drywall and baseboard heat

Hope to do some mock plumbing for the sump this week as well!!! If you noticed I have the ghost overflow with the 3 drains that is waaaaaayyyyyy too big for what I'll need on this 35 gallon tank but I did that on purpose so I could utilize the Bean Animal overflow design.... I had tried doing a HOB overflow forever ago and it was too loud for the wife's taste and back on my old 55 RR I tried the Herbie and other versions and could never make it quiet enough for her so I figured I'd do the Bean version as every Bean version I've heard in real life is 100% quiet...

Glad to have you back! Good catch with the damage to your wall and heating. Hopefully it isn't too bad.

sorry that you lost interest in the tank, the same thing happened with my 20 long planted it looked similar just more green.

congratulations on the new tank!

Snapped a few pictures last night before bed when the tank cleared up and actually looks amazingly good compared to before the water change! Still too much algae but I'll try and tackle that this week!
