Thanks for the info. I hope I don't get to the point of not hating it. 😃
I am going to remove the driftwood as it seems the little buggers are exceptionally fond of manzanita. Also I have been deep cleaning the substrate every time I do a weekly water change. I probably churn up a lot of nutrients for it. Our PH is high here in Arizona and I read that that is also a contributing factor. Like I said I am learning as I go so thank you so much for the info and this super forum!
