Hmm.. is this a lifetime achievement sort of thing?

I was around first wave of Pokemon, Halo 1, GTA1, played wow and d&d... Then I found out girls exist.

I'm more of a stonedMcGuyver.

Gotcha. I'm a clan of the cave bears, Tolkien, inheritance series reader. I've got my personals and loaners of most of those.

I'm an 86 baby with an inability to set down. Tv, movies, and gaming have been pretty lost on me for the last 20 years. Just don't have the attention span.

Eragon was terrible. I didn't know they made any more. I wouldn't have watched it

I reread inheritance and eldest at least twice a year. Personal favorites.
I watched it for Jeremy Irons... But even his genius acting couldn't put out that dumpster fire of a script

Bowfront currently being used as hospital tank. Today I'm scheduled to redose prazi pro for the second treatment.

A few days ago started getting a bit cloudy. It's progressed to bring pretty darn cloudy.

Looks kind it is just a new tank bacterial bloom sort of thing. Reminder that the entire tank was ripcleaned. All sand and LR removed. Only bio lives in the fluval FX4. No measurable ammonia. I can't run carbon due to medications.

I'm not currently concerned about it. Should I be?

I guess it will settle, not a fan of rip clean.

2x 4" diameter airstones with pumps running 24/7. One set to tiny bubbles by the billion, the second slowed to what I would call a medium bubble action that gives a lot of topwater agitation.
My recommendation was gonna be bubbles but I see you have that covered.

I pulled out the carbon removing floss pad thing and it was absolutely DISGUSTING!!

I THINK it was catching everything before it hit the actual foam in the canister. That sucker is out. Down to .03 copper reading. Water changes will do the rest over time.

As much as I'd like to claim vanity is not at play here, I'd be lying.

Plan was a flow bar from the beginning. I cannot for the life of me get a configuration that works, and looks good so here's where we're sitting for now.

Trying to T into the left side down pipe and add another return nozzle then an inline ball valve to throttle the 2.5" fan that will blow under the eggcrate.

If I can't source the T, I'll throw a dc10 clone on the left side.
