125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

And then there were 6....

@JoJosReef suggested selling a Nem split to buy a Copperband. Nem must have heard because it split again last night after that comment... Also, two of the others are probably splitting soon as well, they're getting up around 3" and they usually split at 2"-2.5".
 
The baby is more purple than green. I wonder how the colors will develop as it grows.

Also also, the two above the baby moved behind the rock... I'm expecting to go from 6 to 7 or 8... Usually they hide for a day, then the next day there's two where one once stood.
 
Well, hopefully I didn't nuke the tank.

Sponges and air don't mix, right? Well my ATO reservoir got low and my sump got low and my return pump sucked in a bunch of air. One of my return nozzles was aimed at a spot that had a large amount of sponge growing. There is no sponge growing in that spot any longer... Hopefully it didn't release a bunch of toxins.

Sorry this happened. As a precaution, I would run some carbon.

I'm happy it happened just nervous about what it could do. Carbon was my first thought and I have been running it for about 3 weeks now because of the issues I was having with my Acros. I'll probably swap that this morning though, just to have some fresh in there.

Thanks!

Ya know , it sounds like you’ve got quite a few nems now from the splits splitting . So instead of a “barrel of monkeys” you’d be calling it “bucket o’ nems” and selling as a kids toy…..

Dude! That's brilliant!

@stoney7713 @Projects with Sam new print idea? I know Stoney 's daughter would love it!
 
C'mon Stoney. Kids not listening? "Kids, we're going to be pulling out Tim's Bucket O' Nems if you don't start behaving!"
Uncle Tim's Bucket O' Nems: now with 33% more sting!
