    Couple updated pics.
    Lost almost all of my stock to brook. I have 4 chromis and a falco hawkfish left :(
    Added a biopellet reactor yesterday along with my carbon reactor. Using vertex pellets.

    Thanks man. Definitely rough for sure, but ready to bounce back with a vengeance once the tank sits fish free for a while.

    I need to do something because 5g buckets get heavy

    I make the water in the 32g trash can but I transfer the water into my top off tank with a 6g jug, luckly I only have to carry it about 10 feet though lol
    I have a pump and ato that pulls the water from the 10g and puts it in my sump.

    Thanks OFK. Im trying to not let it get me down to much, a lot of time left in this hobby for me.
