And with Scott’s help—we managed to get the weight of the marine tank canopy reduced by about 90% which means easy off-on. Feeding is still an adventure—I have to get a short ladder and climb up to drop food in, but that’s not too bad. <\/p>\n
OTOH, FINITY made the leap higher than my head in one bound, only to discover we had sawed the top of the canopy out, so it’s hollow. We yelled. FORTUNATELY the top has glass access panels in an otherwise glassed in top—and Finity, roundly cursed at, leapt for the ground, which has to have stung her little feet. I hope she remembers THAT was not successful. <\/p>\n
This is the first time I have really been able to access and service my tank in 2 years. I’ve got the water back in balance, the fishes are happy, the glass is clean, or as nearly so as elbow-grease can manage in one go with a strong magnet cleaner and 5\/8ths inch glass. Pushing that magnet cleaner is work! But it’s pretty again. I haven’t been able to say that about my tank in 2 years. But the fish and snails have survived, and I now have installed one mushroom rock—actinodiscus mushrooms, purple with greenish iridescence, and capable of reproducing like mad if happy. And they have spread out in evident happiness.<\/p>\n
Finity, I hope, now knows the that the tops of both fish tanks are a no-no.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
