Well my tank looks dirty than I’ve ever let it go and it’s nawwing at my OCD But it’s not my fault totally
I did 72.5 hours on the job this week. I no longer fish because just not worth it with market price so bad,, so I had to suck it up and get a land job uggh (just shoot me) what I’m doing is traffic control on state n county roads for the Verizon workers in the buckets
I started at 6am or so yesterday and got home at 4pm today pulled a triple and this has caused a little bit of neglect in my tank maintenance and things are looking dirty well at least more than acceptable to me
But I have off tomorrow because they said because I did a triple I can’t work tomorrow,, have to have least 10hrs off some stupid DOT law,, so I’ll be elbow deep all up in that thing have it shine like diamond. Long week but at least all next week is also gonna be nothing but overtime. Cha Ching

I don't understand how your tank can become filthy in less than two days. Care to share a pic?

As far as bad market prices, a friend of mine who lives just north of Boston, MA mentioned that to me just last week. He caught a 500lb Blue-fin tuna that dressed at 400lbs. He only got $4.40/lb. Lucky for him, fishing is not his day job!

No not in two days it’s more like 10 since last good clean and I have a schedule I keep because I’m ocd and anal. I’m sure a lot of you might not think it’s that bad ,, but I got 32-34 seahorses and 6 fish in a 65gal setup
Now before any of you wanna jump all over me please understand 95% of my ponies are inch in a half to two inches. And the fish are also small. I have probably got a bigger CUC than I need so they help a lot plus as I mentioned I m OCD and my husbandry is top notch. Nothing more important to me than my ponies
So please no negativity

Looks nice! Where did you catch the seahorses?

What out with those green/turquoise mushrooms. I put a few in my previous tank. They spread all over my tank via spores, stinging, smothering, and killing other things. I'll never have them again.

I will keep eye on them, I’d like them to cover half of the rock, I have lot of mushrooms in my tank all different colors n kinds I really like them. I’m hunting for a PINK one for long time a friend of mine has two beautiful large bright ones ive been on him for a long long time offered him up to 100 bucks, he still won’t budge (stingy)
