@spuri87 @clownvan thank you for vouching for me.

Time to setup the 300.

It is absolutely amazing how @Johnsonlwu have raised these fish from 1-2" and acclimated them to survive 100% tap water change. Yes TAP water straight from the sink. Mind blowing and beyond impressive.

I will try to replicate your process.

Can't wait to make another tank journal.

Will pick @Turkeysammich and @Adauqua brains to add additional solar panels.

@clownvan can pick up a tank in 2-3 weeks.

Not impressive at all….learnt from my old mistakes. Sandless FO helps me get away with no frequent water change. My philosophy has been to keep the rocks and media dirty and always mix and aerate and equalize temp and salinity and pH and Prime (seems good enough for fish) before every drastic massive water change. Also to never shock the rocks or media with water that’s not warm (treat like livestock) The 25 gallon beer tubs really come in handy.
