Your entire build has been methodical and full of patience, I'm sure the qt time will go by quickly. looks to me in my very limited experience you are doing everything the right way. A great build thread to watch and follow, always watching your updates.
No updates on my tank worth posting. Dealing with another outbreak of cyano, seems to be clearing up. Interest comes and goes. I get panicky about things and having shut down thoughts so I figure leaving it alone ( just maintenance) not adding anything and letting it settle is best for now.
So happy smudge is doing well! Mine didn't make it. After getting stuck to the power head a second time, I put him in a small breeder container I had, floated it in the sump but didn't put the lid on it. He got out and when I got home yesterday he was stuck to the intake of my gfo reactor pump and dead. I will try another one but might put it in my smaller tank to start, they seem like a very gentle fish and might be a good idea to have it with less aggressive eaters for a bit.
Keep the updates coming
