[ZPO4O]

I'm in the process of setting up my saltwater tank again!

Also in the process of looking into a streaming webcam service/placement, so you can watch me fail at my tank!!!!

Also, is that a snail eating something living!? THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!

And shrimp, YAY!

[what the pluck]

Nah, that snail is eating something that's dead. With another shrimp's help.

I woke up to run out to get more ro/di water. My fiancee's tank had a major ammonia spike and some fish died. So most of the rest are in a giant bowl. This time I picked up the containers properly and my back didn't have a bad stabbing pain. At least I did something right today.

wait wait wait... you and Sean are finally getting married?

wait, woke up to run out for RO/DI water?

...do you not have your own RO/DI system!?

I mean, I know fresh is a lot easier to take care of with tap water then a reef tank is, but still! Why not just get your own RO/DI system? They really are a huge improvement to the living space. Hell, I got two of em!!!

[what the pluck]

Yeah, we'll get married eventually. Just celebrated our 10 year of dating. XD

I don't think we really have a place to put the ro/di system yet. But we like the place we go to. They also have salt water tanks, and sell salt water.

RIP chomper. I don't know, maybe me planting new plants stressed him out.

But I got new plants last night and a new female betta.

Her water levels are fucking ridiculous and my shrimp tank's levels are absolutely perfect (#tankgoals). So I'm sucking water out of her container and putting tank water in, while she's temp acclimating. I wonder what color she'll end up being.

Going to go downstairs and fetch some brine shrimp for them to snack on.

[what the pluck]

I accidentally got three pinocchio shrimp. And 5 pygmy cories.

"oops"

[what the pluck]

I'll try to get pictures of my new pygmy cories and shrimp, but in the meantime here's a picture of my new female betta and some cherry shrimp.
