Any updates Marc? How is it looking?

Bummer about the holiday plans, Its a good thing you have a generator.

I helped a neighbor set a Chicago brick pave patio in the front yard in the am then in the early afternoon I did another 30 gallon water change on the tank (that was two in five days) then we reconvened at the neighbors house after the kids woke and went for a swim, ate a steak dinner and enjoyed a few libations.

I spent the entire afternoon and late evening trimming tree limbs that fell onto my powerline from a freak storm Sunday evening. My neighbor came knocking to let me know, and when I saw how bad it was, the holiday plans I had were shot. I like electricity as does my tank, so it couldn't wait.

I've had a couple of spawnings that I've dealt with. Regrettable since your tank was more mature and has nicer colonies but I survived with a simple Tetra Diatomagic Filter. The unit is discontinued but the product was so much easier than Vortex. It is a hang in tank unit and I ran it till a trickle came out and threw out diatom powder and reloaded 1-2 more times.

Micronized carbon can be used as a second coat if your water was clear to start with, followed by of course water changes. If you catch it the same day, or even part of day, it is not that difficult to correct.

We went to our daughters home in Hattiesburg Mississippi. We left Friday evening, stayed overnight Friday in hotel before we even got out of Texas. (was stuck in traffic for 2 hours because of bad accident) Saturday morning my wife drove for another 5 or so hours the rest of the way. Monday BBQ! Drive back on Tuesday. Fun holiday!

I hope everyone has an awesome holiday! God Bless Our Troops, Past and Present!

working and its been so nice this weekend!

I have been off since Thursday at 10:00 am We have done nothing and have no plans. today I did a 30 gallon plus water change that was over due and rewired the tank. Well i rearranged the wiring in the tank and moved the power strips to where they could be easily accessed and did some reprogramming of the AC3 Controller. I need to test the water soon before I feed them.

No other plans for the rest of the week end. I need to cut the grass and get some fish food. Oh and some more beer.

Got a crab like that one in my carpet anemone, not sure which is more sticky the rock or carpet anemone but it is very interesting that they can move on the anemone...

that part of what make a living system so rewarding for me. Just seeing how things evolve on their own.

Those look just like my snail's eggs! They are laying them about once every week.

I do belive though that the polka-dotted mushroom is actually one that has flatworms on it.

I do believe you're right. Wonder if they charge extra for that.

I think that's what his nano is rapidly becoming.
