A year grown in on 5 gallons and it still looks tidy. What's your light schedule like on the solar RGB?

Tank looks really settled for a year in, are you dosing any ferts or just relying on the driftwood breaking down?

Did you fight algae getting the stratum broken in, or did it stay clean from the start? Mine always goes through a rough patch around week 3.

Celestial pearl danios and shrimp together in 75g sounds like a great combo. Controsoil holding up well after all this time or are you topping it off?

How long has this one been running? The celestial pearl danios against the dragon stone look great, and biweekly changes with no CO2 sounds like a nice low stress setup.

Acei are such good movers to watch in a bigger tank like this - are the yellow labs holding their own with them or do you have to watch for bullying?
