My tank at 1.5 years

[Scallopking]

Hi everyone! Sharing some photos of my tank. I only have some progression pics sadly but it’s been up for a year and half. It’s a Waterbox 190.6 but now I think I should have gone bigger. Im dealing with Dinos. It’s on the sand only. Let me know your thoughts ya’ll and happy to answer any questions. Thanks.

That’s a great looking tank. Did the Dinos go away?

I appreciate that. No, not yet. Been fighting them for a while now, I haven’t done full blackout or silicates yet but don’t think it will work. I’m managing phos and nitrate and getting rid of the sand every water change going bare bottom. Enough is enough.

I am actually going through the same thing (only on sandbed) and also starting to remove substrate. I made the mistake of trying silicates....unless you have diatoms actively growing the silicates just feed the dinos. Mine exploded overnight lol.
