As usual coffee is very good around here. It's cold here (35) right now but there is not a cloud in  the going up into the 70s later today. |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|

A possible drive to DC  may be in order but I'd much rather finish the fishroom moves I started a couple of days ago. All fry & guppies have been moved and I want to see what else I can move. :-\

I need to find a big piece of driftwood to be the centerpiece for my 150. For the time being I want to keep it bare bottom because I "may" have to move it in a few months. Getting substrate out of my tanks has always been a problem. I can't imagine getting it out of the 150. huh

Last couple of times I've needed to remove substrate I just vacuum it out into a 5 gallon bucket.  Works like a charm.   ;)

Another great day on tap here.  Currently 56?F going up to 80?F this afternoon, no rain in the forecast until Thursday.  If things work out, I should be able to finish up some of the yard work today.  Still need to clear some beds out front, and relocate some ferns out back.....

That's what I do also. It's just this tank which is a 150 tall that I don't want to deal with. When it is finally moved and finished, it will be a very long time before it's moved again.  mim mim mim
