Tank update

You can see here the way the tank has cleared nicely after a week of being left to circulate.
I'm yet to seed it with the filter medium from my home tank, so its interesting how the waters cleared with just good flow.

MEDIC !!!!


ow ow ow, flipping ow.....

Pull bulb from holder, bulb wont budge, pull harder, bulb suddenly comes out and little finger slices neatly across sheet metal bracket.

ow.

Here ! fishy fishy fishy....

Desk is now looking rather usable.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand I got the tank under way....  Serious planning going on there.  Heavily cleansed gold sand, tank scrubbed, light replaced, filter medium being colonized with correct bacteria in my home aquarium and rocks being soaked,  for a genuine Japanese "Iwagami" style Hardscape.
Just letting the water settle and clear before rock placement, so I know the sands been washed correctly.

Its just a shame the shop gave me the wrong damn light!  They gave me a white and blue one instead of white and pink which is correct for freshwater.  White and blue would cause huge algae growth, so back to the shop to swap that then.....



Scraaaaap Gloriooooous Scraaaaaaaap...

 Another floor full of junked Electronics and scrap metal.  I think this is Trolley number five.  Didn't bother blogging about a couple of them....



How many now?

Yet another load.  Ive lost count.....

Do we still need this?


More Scrap



Another trolley of scrap metal hidden under shelves, among it what can only be described as a 'horde' of old  microscopes there were "to be fixed" but are so old parts are unavailable or they were beyond repair anyway. So lenses and parts were scavenged and the bones of them went out the door.
