Six weeks of doing nothing at all and this is the payoff. Lovely.

The low light thing is interesting, I had not thought about it making a difference.

Mine did this after switching to a scented brand. Back to unscented and it cleared in two days.

The dwarf sizing being smaller is the opposite of what everyone assumes. Good that you said it.

The 47 base for dwarfs and 60 for Syrians is a good baseline. Worth repeating because pet shops still sell much smaller.
