    Hello

    I have added more rock with more to come. It's looking a little better. I bought a HOB protien skimmer and hoping it levels out soon, it just keeps running over so right now I have the drain hose going right back in the aquarium. Just going slow and easy :) Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
