Cade Chaos Grimoire

[danieyella]

I planned to do stuff in the cube this week, but I have a nasty cut on my dominant hand and it's not doing much in the way of healing

 

[danieyella]

I think it's time for a gorg refresh lost most of them with the leather nuke during tank transition.

Also, ordered peppermint shrimp. Fingers crossed they do good work and the MB or dusky don't eat them

Should’ve put him in his separate tub. Have you dealt with some of toxins in the water with carbon?

Oh yeah it's all fine now. There was no "putting him in a separate tub" at the time, 2 massive leathers didn't make the transition unfortunately. IDK if I have a photo of them in this take before they dropped but it happened fast. They looked so tiny in the original tank lol

Since I couldn't put my hands in the water, I did some water testing and manual dosing. Starting to use up alk & calcium a little faster, might have to start weekly adjustments instead of haphazard. Still don't need to set my dosers back up though.

I did get myself some late Christmas presents.

Gorgs, shrimps, natural rfas, new dusters, couple fish on a whim from a vendor I trust. We'll see what happens. Slowly trying to fall in love with this tank like I was before the transfer but it has been a rough start.

I am so trying to love my new tank as well. It's been nothing but a pain in my rear. I am really just hoping all the headaches will be worth it in the end.

Peppermints come next Wednesday, not sure on other stuff yet, waiting for vendors to reach out to set up dates

Y'all can throw me in with the Trying to love the new tank crew. It's weird how even transferring most of the things, to a new box, it can feel totally different.

I look at my tank and it still doesn't feel like mine. There are some very important elements that are missing from what has always been MY tank.

Exactly.

This is what I am hoping for with the new tank. I've been meh about the tank for a while.

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

I thought Long and hard this morning about just tearing the whole big tank down.

We'll see how I feel in a week when year end is over.

I'd be too lazy for that.

Hope it comes around for you.

 

[danieyella]

Fish delivery tomorrow.

Shrimp delivery Wednesday.

Still waiting to hear on gorgs....

Started dosing my minor dailies in this tank.

Sending off the first ATI icp tomorrow.

Buying wood Sunday to crate up the cade1200 until the move.

 

[danieyella]

I'm proud to report that I followed through, I mailed off my water sample for this tank on my way to work this morning. Husband is going to let me know when the fish arrive and I am going to come home and take care of them and then go back to work.

 

[danieyella]

Years of abuse via UPS had finally paid off, today the UPS driver saw my box that said live fish and called me because I'm at the end of his route and he saw that there were live fish. That way I could meet him somewhere to pick them up earlier so they weren't in the van all day long.

 

[danieyella]

Matt said they were doing well throughout the day. But I just watched my clowns and damsels teamwork drive both of the fish into the overflow.

None of these ****ers are coming with when we move.

 

[danieyella]

Try to do something to make myself excited about the tank again, and all I want to do is rage flush fish.

I am so stressed with all of this, I have not stopped regretting buying this tank since I got it.

I should have just sold everything off from the big one and stored it and started over after moving.

This hobby can make you feel overwhelmed at times. Adding new fish is always stressful cause you never know how it will turn out. Several times I have thought about just selling everything and getting out. But then I read on here about someone else having worse issues and I see all the support people give and I re-think everything. You got this, even if that means rehoming a fish or two! Or maybe things will settle down and work out.
