Sounds very similar to my life over the past year...I’m sorry man. But glad things are working out for you!! Beautiful car, and also: what forum and brokerage are you on?

The forum is stocktwits. There is a lot of trash but there is good info mixed in and links to good info mixed in. Takes work but you can find diamonds in the rough pretty easily on there.
I have a few different brokerages but if you know what you are doing at least somewhat I recommend Webull, amazing charting tools, level 2 order book, access to premarket and afterhours trading. All free.

Thanks! I’ve just been messing around on robinhood and Binance. New tank is looking great!!

Looks great man, really clean. Whats the dark substrate?

This is cool. Let us know how this is in terms of complexity in comparison to reef tanks. Wouldn't mind one of these in the future.

Thanks man! That’s what I was going for. Trying to make it seem like there is nothing in the tank except the scape and livestock.

UNS Controsoil BlackExtra Fine / 3L

Controsoil is an aquasoil from Japan, made of high quality natural soil and volcanic ash. Controsoil will keep the pH of alkaline water below 7.

Thank you! I really am enjoying it too! It’s about on the same level as keeping a fuge in an all in one tank I’d imagine. That’s what it feels like so far. The setup wasn’t difficult, the artistic part was difficult for me with designing the scape. Planting was also difficult because the plants kept floating away. A lot of people plant at start up but I was trying a dark cycle method where you plant at your first water change after fully cycled.
I’m sure keeping the plants alive and all isn’t a walk-in-the-park, I’ll find out soon, lol.

Those look awesome! Wow! I gotta see that tank!

Trying to think of stocking but it’s been difficult so far. I definitely don’t want fish they sell at petco lol. Looking at uncommon tetras that would shoal tightly. I also like red arc pencil fish. I feel like I’m going to have trouble deciding. I’m still having major trouble deciding which kind of neocardinia shrimp to go with, haha. For now I’m enjoying my Rotala H’ra
