After 5 hours of cleaning yesterday it's sparkling again. Thinking this tank kills way to much time in the summer with all the maintenence.
The price you pay for not running the screensaver and wanting the real thing ;)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Feeling the pain. Tank was empty for 5 years. Blaming it on the SHO too. Didn't realize when shopping for grilles that mobsteel was no longer doing them and noticed they were located in Brighton area where a known cichlid breeder is. One thing led to another.

I used to have a 55g full of african cichlids as well.  Was fun when I was single and no kids.  Didn't set it up again after moving from Vegas to Colorado.  I don't even have time to wax my car anymore!

Ain't that the truth...damn kids burn up way too much time. I guess I could NOT coach two softball teams, but then I would just have to sit on the bleachers during all those games and talk to the wife. Hmmmm....nah...coaching it is :)

This is our last tank (90) from when we use to breed them also. Had a room with over 30 tanks. Then the 2nd kid popped out and bye-bye fish tanks. Have a 180 acrylic in garage that's gonna get the best filter system I can muster up for current fish as they are growing fast.

Picture day. It won't let me upload the full resolution so 400x 266 is all we get. The original 4608x3072 is stunning.
