  4. Sometimes you have to start again

    Well couldn't overcome the hair algae issues from a second hand tank I bought so all live stock sold and tank stripped down. When removing all items the state of them was awful and all now cleaned up and like new.

    Algae! But only on one side because someone forgot to turn on ALL the lights one day.
