It’s definitely been something to do for these past few weeks. Like others I’m running out of tasks... Considering picking up some fish to QT

It’s not affecting us really. Still working and have more to do now that we’re essentially home-schooling our first-grader.

-Upped maintenance, cleaning tanks weekly during church sermons ;)
-Noticed new Coral Beauty (Patient Zero) showing ich 2-3 weeks from introduction...
-Noticed Yellow Tang had bumpy skin (likely ich)
-Treated w/meds, garlic, upping feeding, etc.
-Started planning quarantine tank!
-Finally ordered Apex from BRS with 2 x WAVs, Tweaking Power Management & Programming
-Setup Apex, watching levels, programming Apex, WAVs, etc
-Lost power, have a 1500VA UPS, it did eventually die.
-Stayed up another 3 hours programming the Apex and buying more power outage equipment.
-Re-arranged sump equipment & refugium lighting for an upcoming DIY filter roller
-More programming of sump/fuge equipment to maximize the Apex EB832 and UPS programs
-Noticed lawnmower blenny slowly dying (likely ich)
-Setting up a Quarantine Tank
-And more!
It puts things in a new perspective with an ich breakout and rona in real life. Things that make you go hmm...
