    Reading up on plants and what not. About to head to work sadly, but I'll be dreaming of my tank the entire time I'm gone =D
    Started a new, smaller culture of micro worms this morning.

    Taking most of the water out of the 20 gallon then refilling it. I'm at my wits end with the cloudiness. Next step is going to be a complete breakdown to soak the driftwood in boiling hot water and rinsing the substrate completely which I think is the main problem.

    That was delayed maybe 2 weeks. the 210 is behind schedule and im getting pissed, got enough plants for a 300g in a 52g tank. my fish are looking at me like I think they are monkeys or something.

    going to cut the leveler blocks in a few then start rinsing the substrate. no one makes a collander with tiny holes yet in 20" diameter range.

    bought Krylon Watermelon, Ballet Slipper, and Rustoleum one that looks identical to the krylon Make It Stone!
    Plan on spraying them on index cards to figure out which to use.

    Yay, I'm done with my tank breakdown and redo. I think it looks amazing now ! Hopefully that cloudy water issue won't come back. The substrate was pretty dirty when I took it outside and rinsed it off; lots of dead roots and stuff. I will post pictures soon.

    Ended up going to the store and buying a bag of pool filter sand for the 10 gallon tank. Waiting for my fish to arrive.
