The fluval heater is keeping up nice 77 degrees and holding...and yeah I'm following nitrates and ammonia and nitrites and ph lol every second day

It just takes care and time for everything to fill in. You'll get there. And, I quite like you scape. You squeezed all that rock in very nicely, and there is interest in the placement.

Great work with the rocks

Now put in atleast two powerheads to brush water through all those rocks
