Why do you think you did it wrong? Thought you were in the process of raising it

That's great. I'm going on five months and don't have near that. I just started to see spots of coralline growing. Hopefully it takes off now. Think it might because I saw one spot on one of my power heads and now about a week later I see it on the other one and on the back wall

Aren't we all I remember the first time it crossed my mind like 8yrs ago but I was so overwhelmed with the startup I just kinda dismissed the idea until I got my own place and a decent paying job and revisited the thought of trying it this time last year and it is one of the best decisions I've made
