Today's to do list:

• Go back to bed
• Wake up for real
• Get chicken photos
• Get new coral photos
• Set up UPS for return pump and test it. (We have a whole house backup battery, but if the power simply flickers - my return pump doesn't kick back on)
• Figure out if I want to do a refugium or not
• Order light if so
• Clean filter socks
• Clean glass on all 3 tanks
• Hang some decor in office
• Vacuum toad tank
• Plant room maintenance
• Breakfast at in-laws (I was promised waffles)

Making progress. Also cleaned the chicken coop and did outside plant maintenance. Technically I'm taking a break part way through plant room maintenance, it's not done yet

Having a properly functioning fuge keeps pH more stable at night and breeds tons of pods. It does take some maintenance, but overall it’s not time consuming. To me it’s a no brainer.

Two rock flowers came out to play before we went on vacation.

Stripey eats aiptasia and many LPS.... does not care about rock flowers though.

(Will edit photos in once I'm back to computer)

I'd been hesitant to order more because they all went and hid in the rock abyss so I couldn't see any of the like... 12? or however many I put in.

I used to run one on my old old tank, then I switched to a float ats - but that got moved to the seahorse tank with the downsize/move/etc and it made the most sense to keep it there. Of course, I didn't keep the light from back then

Didn't finish everything on my list yesterday, hopefully will be able to today after my nap.

Taking a nap *as soon* as I get home from this appt. Already feel like I'm crashing. Was really hoping the shot wouldn't do this again this time

Is alcoholic hot cocoa for breakfast allowed?

I'll add an espresso shot for caffeine's sake

Yep , just like me mimosas!

I have 2 things left on my list from yesterday. And I took a nap today after my Xolair shot. I need to go to the feed store as well. Waiting for Matt to get off his conference call to see if he wants me to pick up lunch while I'm out.

 

[danieyella]

List completed & I went to the feed store

I have another thing to hang but I need to drill some holes in it first....

I should clean up my bucket of supplies

What size tank is that ?

Looks perfect for me.

I actually cleaned up the desk after posting that - as a way to avoid cleaning the corner.

One of my associates brought me ***3*** emu eggs today for my collection of weird things.

I'm very excited

It's good, I just noticed this message sorry. I'll try to remember to get a photo tomorrow when lights are on.

Don't forget the ups set up...

I did that though! I finished my list!

 

[fishguy242]

Just a warning,heads up, got you a Giraffe for SS...

 

[danieyella]

She's got the longest greenest aerial root - I assume? IDK, it's odd.

Nice to see you survived the Lizard Blizzard of 2025. (No Iguana's dropping on you due to cold weather.)
