wow very nice tank what type of moss is on the drift wood

 

[daverock1337]

christmas moss. was dried a little, it should make a full recovery and also grow faster now that the tank temp is down to 76 F from 84 F.

Tank looks good

i was refilling the tank with water, the bowl helps prevent sand from being thrown around. i normally use a plate but when filling it from empty it needed something more.

i have some more pics to add later today. first i have to mow, weedeat, clean the basement (puppies), shampoo the carpet, and vacuum my room. i think thats it...

Congratulations on the coal mining job! Those aren't easy to get anymore from what my friends tell me. It'll be great to no longer be a swing manager, huh? Looking forward to the update.
