And there's the voice of reason.

Ok. The update. Due to recent Dr's visits, no money in the budget for a UV or oxydator. Looks like we're keeping it simple to start.

Simple is good.

What a week and TGIF. Hours and hours on the phone and email after email. If it could go wrong, it did. At least my new tank is straightened out and it's on the way. Tracking shows it was sent yesterday from California and will arrive on the East Coast on Tuesday--aka my house.

Hippie kid is mad at me. I made him eat turnip greens. Lol

I would be too. I had a rough time with my boy, It was always chicken and fries. Once the short hairs came in the kid eats everything, now at 16 he's quite the chef. If you want to eat good food you have to make it

That's a little bit of a bummer. However, comparatively speaking, an oxydator is much less costly than an UV. Plus, you can make your own DIY oxydator. They're really simple to do.

Oh, and don't let @najer know you'll not be running an oxydator. He may go on a rant!

My kids love veggies. Some veggies the won't touch Brussel sprouts, egg plant turnip greens stuff like that. My youngest doesn't like baked or mashed potatoes. What's wrong with that boy.

Stefan, middle , grows facial hair faster than I do. He gives me crap about it too.

I need an oxydator? Lol. The list will never end.

I left work early. I can count on one hand the number of times I've done that in my life. Just feel like being quiet I guess.

May your quiet time bring you peace.

I used to finish my dad's boats and planes. I don't want an epoxy for this.

You have some kind of work ethic.

I’ve done a little bit of woodworking in my day and it’s always tough. Sanding 8 million times, jointing, and especially getting the finish right ain’t no easy chore. It’s also addicting though and you may be in a “need to finish my whole house” state.

Epoxy especially is so hard to get right. The worst is when you pour the thick epoxy over the wood and 15 min later a fly decides to land on it, smh

That’s the best way to start. Buy what you need when you need it.

Office tank finally hit full diatom bloom after initial setup of the rockwork and cycle over 3 months ago.
No direct aquarium light has let everything grow nice and slow.

And you actually don't need those up front, so its a win-win

Any updates?

Sorry for the late response, but it’s been a day. Hubby is sick too Had to make more water, get the hospital tank set up and try to put main tank back together. He’s still hanging in there. It’s really weird, he was fine yesterday morning. I can’t find any marks on him. he’s not breathing heavy and no torn fins. If it wasn’t for his coloring and not eating, I’d think he’s was fine. I’m treating it like a bacterial infection..Kanaplex&Metroplex. Maybe another set of eyes? Do you see anything?

Here’s one that’s a little clearer. He wasn’t thrilled with th flash
