It's been months since I've been on here. My BF if 7 years and I broke up and I asked him to watch my nano until I got on my feet. He agreed. Well, here is nano when I started moving out:
Here is what I walked in to when I went to pick it up:
Everything was dead. Corals, mushrooms, snails, star fish, hermits. Apparently he felt the need to unplug it and put in the garage.
I got it to my new place in San Bernardino, cleaned as best I could and set it back up. Here it is after two hours of cleaning:
so it's been cycling for a week. pH is low 7.5, ammonia has been around 1-2 but just dropped yesterday to about .5. This morning it has been taken over by algae :
I'm heart broken and frustrated and am not sure what to do. Do I break it down? Do I ride it out? Funds are scarce as I am now unemployed and supporting my two girls. My nano was one of the few things that brought me some joy. Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks
