D’oh! Fertilizers Stat!

Monday, September 7th, 2009

I was hoping to hold out until after my monthly budget reset, which is only a week away, but I ran out of Flourish. At least there was a $5 off coupon for Drs. Foster & Smith.

I’m going to try to update about the aquariums a little more often, but things have been sort of in a holding pattern in that regard. All I’ve been doing lately, aside from water changes, is making sure the surface of the 75g isn’t completely covered with floating plants. Just that task is a bit of a burden lately, heh. I’ll probably find some motiviation in a week or two to do some clean out. I haven’t really wanted to because of it being so warm, I’d much rather sell the plants than throw them away. I’d also really rather the plants arrive healthy and not a green/black slime in a ziplock bag.

Two More Shots

Did some camera tweaking and finally came up with a white balance setting that appropriately illustrates the actual colors in the tank, yay!

This Isn’t Good…

Apparently the RKL temperature probe has failed, only three and a half days after being put into operation.

Today Was Like Christmas

My additional two RKLs came today, as did my Gerber Trendy pocket knife, and the replacement memory. I haven’t set the RKL up on the 75g yet, probably will Sunday; that pocket knife is so tiny, and thanks to the new memory, my computer is no longer slow as frozen molasses, yay!

I also took another trip down to Mr. Coral in Frederick and got myself six coral frags for $50, woot! I’ve been lackadaisical again about posting, but I had also gone down there last weekend to pick up two frags. I’ll need to photograph them and get that posted.

Last weekend I did a serious overhaul of the 75g aquarium, substantially thinning out the right side that desperately needed work.

Oh, day before yesterday my Garmin 260w GPS arrived, got it for $119 shipped from Amazon. Now it’s much less stressful while trying to find places and getting lost during “construction season” has hopefully been minimized.
