Thanks! I didn’t know they were large until we had a visit from the local fish store for some maintenance help with the marine tank. 12 and 13 inchss puts then at the top end for tank raised dojos, so we’re doing something right.
They’re such fun fish. They’ll swim right up to your hand and let you pet them.

soil amendment that contains beneficial fungus (the sort that works with plant roots to increase nutrient and moisture absorption, rather than trying to consume the plant)
I’ve looked into mychorizal innoculations to help new trees get established when we’ve planted them. Hadn’t considered it for preventative maintenance to freely dump aquarium water, though, so thanks for the idea!

Yeah, deep substrates without someone rooting around in them to aerate can be a time bomb. I got (un)lucky and have a massive malaysian trumpet snail population that keeps the bottom well churned. They’re considered a pest but I’ve recruuted some assassin snails and we have a spotted congo puffer that loves his crunchy snacks.
All the little white shells you see along the bottom here are trumpet snails. My substrate is a writhing mass: Image
I have a video of it moving but lemmy wasn’t letting me copy paste it like I can with pics.
On vacation with no pics of the sump on my phone but below are Fishadelphia (where It’s Always Sunny) 75g, Lady and Her Shramps 20g, and the School of Rock 125g:

A deep substrate can also help filter ammonia. My 75 gallon freshwater tank requires very little in filter cleaning and water changes thanks to a good cleanup crew, lots of surface area for bacteria, deep-ish substrate, and lots of plants.
Our marine tank is similar. That tank also has a second smaller tank beneath, called a sump, where there is extra rock and biomedia for beneficial bacteria. That tank has a second lighting system set to an opposite photoperiod from the main tank and has a specific type of macroalgae (chaeto) which gobbles up phosphates during the main tank’s night hours.
It can be a delicate balancing act getting it all working well, but when tanks get established it gets to be fairly routine keeping it all going.

Nice! I do dump my buckets into some of our garden beds on occassion. I was a little shy about using it after I watered a houseplant and it grew some kind of fumgus on the soil but that cleared up. I’m guessing that might be the kinda gross you mentioned.
I really hope to get some raised beds for food plants this year but already have a greenhouse needing that needs to be built.

They call those setups aquaponics. It’s a really cool system and one I would love to have as an indoor farming setup some day when I can finance it.
Currently I die a little inside when I do aquarium filter cleaning and water changes. The amount of nutrientns I cannot re-use is saddening. So much good fish poopy going to waste.
Another cost consideration is the food safety licensing and whatnot you would need to have.

Dojo/weather loaches do. Most types get to a good size but I think these are the biggest.

Pvc is relatively cheap. Submersible pump could be as cheap as $10. Expanded clay is also affordable. Not sure about the design, though.

It’s unusual to use the word figuratively.
Sure, in tour experience. I’ve used and seen it used literally and figuratively.
For everything after that, it’s because you’re kind of being a dick.
Nah, I followed the back and forth and you’re the one being a dick trying to gatekeep the usage of a word.

I have a 75 gallon with loaches and and angelfish as the bigger tankmates. There is one large synodontis and some of the plecos are getting rather hefty.
Papa Loach, the smaller of the two finally got in a good photo spot to measure him recently:
