    150g cube

    Well here’s an update if anyone seems to be interested. So far so good! All parameters seem to be stable so far, my nitrates ate a little high but I believe it’s because I used the last owners sand ??*♂️. Wish I had gotten new but it’s done ok, surprisingly. I’ve added 2 more fish and will...

    Man. What a headache. Figured it out and took care of it. Completely leak free. The only problem is the noise now. That’s a work in progress. Any tips? Bean animal style overflow.

    Ok god has answered and this is not a seal leak. It is the bulk head on my overflow. I officially do not want this overflow any longer. Maybe it’s just me but nothing about this thing is good to me. 16in shadow overflow from synergy.

    Ok really bad news. Turns out I have a leak. FML. It’s at the bottom somewhere I can’t see. I need help. So far everything points to tear down and re silicone. I’m at the point of tears this sucks so bad. Do you have any suggestions?

    Well just made a purchase. I found 2 lightly used Maxspect razor r420r 130w for 150 a piece! Should fit the tank great with good coverage and I can actually program them. Super excited! Anyone have experience with these?

    I did I tried all the way open to all the way shut. And everything in between. It’s maddening. It’s supposed to be a full siphon and silent. Also seems like it’s coming out way to fast. If I slow it down it fills up enough to hit the emergency. I don’t understand.
