    Yeah that's not bad at all, the tank looks great. Especially for no filter! ...really? No sponge or nothing?

      Just one scoop and a fill for a water change. That's all the filtration you'll ever need.

        No filtration. Nothing. Just an airstone for at night when lights go out and co2. All equipment I have on it is listed in the OP. Water change every week about 2-3 cups with RO/DI and tap mix.

        Although having a filter would be nice for the flow, it's not really necessary for just shrimp, two o-cats, and a nerite.

          A lot of the HC bounced back nicely! Very green and pearling again. Still some brown patches. I don't want to pull them out and uproot the HC, so I'll let the shrimp do their job. Update videos to come.

              Gorgeous pearling. Yeah... So tempting to pull out the brown patches but like you said, I think it'll all come out if you do that! Patience, young padowan Steven...

                No clue what happened, but I had half of the CO2 cartridge left and the next day it I had none. Gonna ditch the CO2 setup and put together a 5lb setup. HC is dying off considerably. Lowered the photoperiod to 5 hours to slow down the browning. Dosing Excel until I can get the CO2. CRS moved over to the 5G.

                    Shouldn't be long. Putting together a list of things to buy and then I'll order and assemble everything.

                      Well... I decided to restart. I drained it and tried to bring it back. It worked, but shortly after a lot of it died back. I'm back at square one and replanted it. This time I have an actual CO2 setup for this bad boy. Here it is. Brown patches are dead. I tried to get most of it out. Looking at the glass, you can tell how bad algae took advantage.

                      • Man, that is a major set back. I wish you luck on reviving this.

                          Yeah. The entire tank was basically carpeted and was growing really green. Set back was because I was slacking with the CO2
