He had about 15lbs in dry rock he "threw" in, so that saves me. And LFS gave me $15 for the 12 corys so going in decent direction. It's set up now. Have glass tops, but would like to build a wood too sometime.
It's clearing. Put the two damsels and hermits back in after hanging out overnight. Lost a hermit. But fish seem okay for now as test came back okay. We'll see.
Stuck with blue background and the paint he used wouldn't come off. Too 30min to get 5% off. So I have a small hole.
Now the debate is keep the overhang and buy another or keep the much quieter canister. Read that it has a UV light on it to help algae and possibly better for salt?
I also have a separate sponge filter around the intake that I made for it.
Both filters are running now to help clear the tank.
All seems well. Hopefully the damsels make it.
Nice sturdy tank, just feel a little bummed I was kinda taken. Albeit it seems like $250 for what I got was okay.
