Turtle's Miniature Menagerie

Wow, I fell waaaay behind here. AKU!!! Didn’t even realize you had revealed the drop off. Scape came out great and I’ll tell you I’m so far very impressed with the Brightwell block and Microbacter I added a couple/three weeks back. I saw some bad stuff that was just beginning get stopped dead in its tracks.

Everything is looking amazing! Love the light choice for that tank!

The red sea cover looks really slick! I might get one those for my tank...

Looking sweet, I never realized those tanks came with a stand...NICE. BTW You feed AKU too much in that rock he might become too fat to get out.

Yea, the pedestal is really nice. It's aluminum and the same construction as their APS stands. They put black tinted acrylic in the openings to close it up. I think it looks great with my refurbished gray stand and the Google home fits right in.

Left the house after putting sand in. Tank was super cloudy. Came home after about four hours and the tank is clear and Aku is out exploring his new digs.

Aku looks like he is enjoying himself...

Excited to see him out and about! Really hope he takes to Smiley.

Still settling, ... ;)

The glass over laps? At first I thought it was the water level and Aku was going Walk-about:confused:

Hey @Robin Haselden I hope all is Well?

Looks good! Maui was part of the inspiration to myself getting a Dwarf. I’m glad I did. Fun little eels.

How has Aku been eating?

All is well... no changes tho so I haven't updated. I should have some surprises this week tho, stay tuned.

Very cool. Can't wait to see it in the drop off tank.

Two packages delayed due to extreme weather. "Extreme weather," what are they talking about extreme weather? There is nothing extreme about the weather.

Ok, so I may not watch any news. Too much garbage on there these days. I had no idea it was actually still winter in the rest of the country. Ground hog day is the first day of spring down here. It doesn't matter what the little rodent sees.

It's kind of like this... last week there was a 103°F temperature difference between South Carolina and Montana. I had no idea people were frozen still? How do you live with more than a month of winter?
