I set this tank up 12/24/25 and it's finally looking halfway decent! I have battled diatoms, a heater malfunction, bacterial blooms, ATO disaster, Cyano, etc.
I'm sure I'll jynx myself by posting pics but other than some stubborn algae patches the tank is looking decent enough to share with the class!

It's my little work office tank that keeps me sane throughout the week. I don't think I can cram any more equipment onto this tank lol.

And before the Tang Police come for me, yes there's a sailfin tang in there. He's the size of a quarter. I have a 115 gallon at home he is destined for. This tank is his quarantine tank/grow out tank and I needed his help with some algae! (He's also, of course, the fish everyone at works loves best).

Pics were taken with a cheap filter off Amazon and my phone. Enjoy!
