My Wednesday was a Wednesday. Hot Wing pizza for lunch, but no hot with the hot wing? A little disappointed in the flavor today.

Other than that, decent day.
 
my Wednesday is sitting in here, since it is raining/misting outside, wondering why i got back into this crazy hobby.... picked up 3x 55g and a 40g this weekend just because they were cheap and just up the road (30 miles which is super close for anything)... Filled 2 of the 55s to leak check and sitting here wondering what the plan is for them, ideas? they where used for breeding saltwater fish of some sort, top one is drilled.... idk why i bought these.

Because it is the best hobby in the world. I have many other hobbies, but the satisfaction I feel with this one when I sit every day in front of the tank and see that I have a little piece of the ocean in my living room is unmatched, seeing how the corals grow, how the fish get to know you... ;)

I've always wanted to breed fish.... I will definitely be doing it in the future but I don't have the time for it right now. It'd be cool for me to watch you make baby fish so I can learn from you :cool:

Have always wanted to breed clowns and did a lot of reading years ago. This sounds like a plan.
