did I already talk about having tds in my RODI? I have one tds in my RODI. after 2 years on the resin, it's about time. I'll probably get it changed before I hit 5 tds. might be when I move across the country.

build thread updated.

Glad you threw in the rocks and wood... I was gonna say Petco and PetSmart both sell SpongeBob.

That time of year for cool flourescent GloFish Halloween decor lol.

I guess rocks and wood are cool too.

A little over a month ago I was bored at work and took 5 minutes to apply for a job in Bellingham, WA. Turns out I have what they want and took me a lot more seriously than I took the application. So now I'm waiting on an offer that will likely come. Waiting on her to make it as much of a priority as the department does. The job they had open, they hired someone else for, but only because another was opening up right after and she could start immediately.

Yeah, probably. Pay's lower than I want, but seems fair and we could still afford to eat.

Not really. I've goten plants from aquarium plants factory with good success (better than buceplant). I think they have hardscape too.

I'm not anxious, you're anxious. who said I was anxious?!

Even if the work is the same, which I'm fairly sure it is, everything outside of that has great potential. I'm trying to be excited about it, but it's hard to see past the next six months of difficulty and change.

And with a second baby on the way, it's further complicated.

Trying to build the stoke by looking at all the fun stuff to do. Also gotta talk to my boss. She's currently writing my yearly appraisal...

Gotta figure out what to do with the reef though. @Fish Styx want dum dum back? Thought right now is have the in laws set up a 40ish and mail the most precious of the collection. Or make a friend out there who can foster for a month or two...
