I've been struggling with my freshwater tank for I don't know how long.
Something is fundamentally wrong, whether it's the gravel, the fact the tank is over 30 years old....
Don't know but these poor fish just keep hanging on.
It's not that I haven't tried, lord knows I have so I decided they deserve a new home so I went all new with my favorite stuff, no carryover from the old tank.
New tank, tidal 35,eheim heater, new sand and substrate, kessil lighting.
Going to have to get another job now but we'll see how it goes 🙃.
I'll keep y'all posted.
 
Good morning Joel, may the tacos be with you! ✌️
Thank you Kev 😊
You always, always take time for everyone else so take some time for yourself today please 🙏 🙂
 
Not sure which way I'm going job wise today, sometimes feel like I'm on the marrygoround of life, my goodness 😳...
Put in my notice at the club and they freaked out.
Had a meeting with the GM today and that went well but need to decide....
Money vs health is a hard one but maybe we can work something out we're all happy with...
Keep ya posted...
