2nd worst task ever.

Maybe 3rd.

First is water changes.
Then I think testing.
Then cleaning glass.

Yeah.

I'd put cleaning glass higher. Can't scratch the acrylic so have to use magic eraser or a plastic scraper on the coraline. Testing is benign enough.

Scraping or water changes
Then the other one
Then filter socks
Testing

Fair, I have glass not acrylic - and a filter roller. Prior to the roller socks were the bane of my existence for sure.

I'm close to printing a roller, but it's still $100 in parts after that, so doesn't save money and makes another project for me. I shoulda got glass.

How're the corals and Dum-Dum doing?
dumb dumb, true to his name, hasn't touched a single aip. but otherwise, chill. mrs and I were talking last night that he isn't a very colorful fish, but good to have in the tank to balance out the rest.

got some green out on the toadstool. One acro took a hit with my wild glueing, but seems to be otherwise ok. got some rearranging to do and the singulera should have more room to open up.

Dum-Dum won't color up. They're definitely a drab fish.

Like I said, he only eats the little ones, and he has to be hungry. Restrict feeding and he'll mow them down. The big ones you'll have to nuke with a kalk slurry. Then, he'll control the little guys. Glad the other stuff is doing well, too.

Then I guess it's a good thing I'm leaving for a week at Christmas.

Which evidently Happens next week. How'd that happen?!
