bah hahaha, yes it has been slow... but... heres what I did yesterday.. logged for your amusement =)
BTW Thanks SmokinCache for all the stuff
Ok, todays story starts out with me draining water into a FEMA bucket for my fish to have temporary housing during the ensuing natural disaster.
I employed the assistance of my specially trained helper-babies to complete this task..
The plants went into an ice chest (though I had to add more water later because some of the leaves that were sticking out of the water started freaking out). This also shows 1 of the lights that I recently purchased, its one of the single 36inch 50/50 10,000k+actinc 96watt systems.
Here is the housing bucket with my favorite plant floating in it to give the fish a hiding spot, comes complete with heating system, filter and carbon box.
It is at this point that things took a turn for the worse......
You see, mrs. ramius is a stay at home mother of 4, and has not left the cave for anything other than milk in over six years... so recently mrs. ramius has been helping a friend of hers with a business venture.. where they go into forclosed trailer houses and strip them of whatever they can to put in her friends resale shop, in return they wash the trailer up for the person who did the reposessing.
What does that have to do with todays project? Well, recently mrs ramius confiscated a very large roll of carpet somehow and has been itching to put it in the living room, the only thing saving me from this task was the 1 ton jug of water sitting in the corner... after all the water was down and the fish were out she began shoveling the old substrate out with a madness that I just could not understand. Then.. in a final moment of clarity, much like when you know the train is about to make contact with you.. it hit me.
We would be installing carpet today.
Shortly after this was realized I had to move the fish housing into the bathroom.. remember what i said about things turning for the worse? Well... the fish house broke.. in half, sounding like thunder and 2 of the 4 horsemen. I even think I heard some fish "eek".
Some how.. and again I do not know how.. we managed to get the fish into my bathtub. There were no immediate casualties.
