That was the best video I ever saw - having a 17 year old daughter, it spoke to me.

Move things around. Bubble is aggressive and could start murdering.

That's what it's all about. I don't know what any of it means except it's basically like saying "Have a great day and live your best life!" or something similar I think but I'm likely wrong.

I think I'm going to try to order a screen mesh lid from LiveAquaria if I win another gift card anytime soon and if they get them back in stock. Also I'll likely grab a finer filter sock to help with the fine particulates.

I want a screen mesh lid for my tank. The egg crate seems to block a lot of light but I need to find one that works with traditional rimmed tanks and has options for cord cutouts. I don't win enough stuff to bank on winning gift card :grinning-face-with-sweat:
