I can't make it. Any chance someone is going who can pick up some fish for me?

Eh, it's been a slow balance between algae, BBA, and so on. But the tank basically looks ok.

Hi guys--I'm in for the contest. I'll paypal my $5.

Update: no more BGA. I turned down the lights, turned down the ferts by ~3x, and put my CO2 as far up as I dare (yellow drop checker).

The symptoms are a blue-green gooey film that forms slowly over time on the surface of the sand substrate and on some of the plants. It's sticky but fortunately relatively easily re...

I'm not going to make this one--bummer.
