The blurple was too much. Can’t say I didn’t try.

I was having a hell of a time chasing down this intermittent stunting. Discovered the issue while testing my RO water for the carnivorous plants. Massive TDS creep. Something failed somewhere (I think a check valve and/or the flow restrictor failed when I clipped a line mowing the yard). Haven’t tracked down the exact cause yet, but I ordered a RO Buddie kit to hold me over.

The tank is rejoicing.

@Rob23 still running the Jebao (albeit on a different tank). Never skipped a beat.

Wanted to update the sad state of a tanks end of life. Real tanks look like this sometimes.

Will be completely stripping everything, doing a potassium permanganate treatment, new substrate, new filter, and starting over.
