We’re back in the fish room for a massive update! From the giant Albino Bristlenose Pleco finally making a rare appearance to some "mad scientist" experiments with 3D printing and UVB lighting, there is a lot to catch up on. We’re also diving deep into water chemistry, troubleshooting a pH crash, and testing out the new Magic Nuggets in the 800-gallon tank.
