Little bummed that he didn’t get it printing properly. I do like, however, the realness shown in that not everything is a success without a lot of work and experimentation.

found my CO2 scrubber was clogged because I poured too much water on top when I re-filled it. Now I know why my PH has barely gotten over 8!

Dropped off the custom Blue Line Coral shade I've been dragging my feet on for so long!
It was hard to put a price on it because of the man-hours involved so I let them pay what they wanted. I only specified I needed some cleanup crew.

OMG I got so many snails of all types! They really hooked me up. I think they know how much labor was involved because they've recently gotten into printing themselves.

pulled my in-tank return. I think it was blocking a ton of light from the top of my rockwork and It was a pain to keep algae-free.
