Means scouring my inlaws basement cellar for pebbles, rocks, filters, bubblers, coral and terrain for these new fish we are expecting.balso means a lot of tank cleaning and enrichment item washing. I figure we let everything soak for a few days, with a couple of water changes and we should be good to go on the fish by next week or the one immediately after.
Depends on if we are buying distilled water or letting the tap water sit and off gas before we use it on anything worthwhile. Depending on the volume of water we are using will alter how long that step takes. It’s not something I am very familiar with, and off the top of my head do not know how to calculate it either. Time to learn!
Just out at the farm walking the dog. Or I was and now I’m taking a moment to sit and collect my thoughts on these impending fishes coming out way. Fresh water and not fancy salt water fish. It’s a cool morning by any standards at just 13°C. Not so long ago we were deep into the high thirties and low forties. Now I’m in a t-shirt, long sleeve shirt and a sweater combo. Still clinging to the shorts though. I’m still Canadian! Ha.
Wife and kids are off shopping for fish accoutrements. So that could be a while. Likely also expensive given my children’s tastes, and my wife’s love of top of the line gear when it suits living creatures. For herself not so much, but for animals in our care, whoo-boy! They live like kings! Kings I tell ya.
I best go enjoy my Saturday. Ciao Bella!
