Not an update on the tank, but a project I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I got some new hanna checkers so decided it was time.

Score! Nice grabsA few new additions to the tank via aquashella. I spent most of the money at Hanna’s booth, and on plants. Also the daughter got a new beta and a new frog, and the wife got a new beta as well.

So something else I picked up while I was out of town I can't post a picture of. I finally pulled the trigger on a mandarin. LFS in a neighboring town on the way back had one that was not eating frozen and they don't have a great pod population. So he had started loosing weight and I ended up getting him/her for $12. I only see it every few days, has it's posted up on the back side of some rocks. I happy to report though, has of last night he has put weight back on and is looking healthy. I was only out for a bit last night but he has for sure put weight back on. Hopefully soon he will be hanging out in the front of the tank more often.

It's cool they sold it to you for only $12. What's even cooler is that it sounds like you saved him with the copious pod population in your system! Great story with what sounds like it will be a happy ending. And, I mean, who doesn't like happy endings!

Yeah I was pretty excited, and I think they were excited seeing him go to a tank with plenty of pods. They said they usually get captive bred but for some reason this time their supplier sent wild caught.

As an Electronics Tech, I know the value of having ground protection on circuits. I installed a GFCI outlet with an alarm on it for my tank, (E-260). So I would recommend it.

Skimmer maintenance and cleaning is scheduled for every 6 months. Maybe I should up that schedule......

Maybe not good as new but not bad.
Oh my skimmer before picture [emoji23]
I have an x series so same bubble plate. Soaking in some vinegar for several hours does wonders. Also a set of something like this to get inside of it to underneath the plate. Since the hole is really really tiny.

Haha, no my fuge light spills over bad so everything grows algae. Plus I have a eel and he’s messy.

I soaked this one for a while. I love the skimmer but that little plate is a pain. I got most of it but not all of it.
