There is a pin that pulls out next to each hole that I assumed you...

If you haven't purchased one yet, you'll need to spend about $40 for a U-Tube overflow box (preferred over CPR boxes). So think of it as spending about $50 for the pre-drilled 55g. I would do that if...

I would then give it a few days,...

I second the vote on cyano. I have also used chemi-clean in the past - follow the directions - it works great. But afterwords, you still need to address what is causing it - high nutrients. If you...

That's sounds pretty funny.
Maybe if I put a picture a pool guy next to the tank the fish will start cleaning the tank themselves.

I agree, just give it some time. Most of my leathers go through a period (maybe a week) from time to time where they look bad and don't open up. But then they come back looking as good as ever.

randallcentral,
It would be best to do some research in the Lighting/Filtration forum for a bit.
