so it been a roller coaster of a year, took down my 150 transferred all coral to a 105g rimless tank. tank crashed lost coral(jan) then battled bryopsis and won then hair algae almost won. A kitchen remodel claimed the 105(didn't want to move it so I sold it), didn't want to move it so I decided to just get a nano till I finish up school. So here I am.

In the picture above, it is pushed all the way back by via rollers riding the track hangers affixed to the ceiling. ...
