Patch is doing really well! She sucked up her pellets last night, chased her soccer ball in the water current and darted up at the surface. Now that her mobility is improved she can do all her 'stuff' without rolling over and stopping. She even sat nicely for the camera and danced! This morning she's resting in her house.
In other news I've ordered the wood to make a tabletop for the 125. The new LED Nicrew arrived yesterday evening. I also got a smaller one for Tango as his old strip light is limited with crazy colors and often cuts off or goes dim. I'll have to get a dimmer for the new one. These LED's are extremely bright for smaller tanks.
I really wanted to purchase a nice stand but it's not looking likely because of a sudden expense. Meh...might have to go with the blocks. Haven't decided whether to plan around cost for an iron stand.
With the supply industry affected by Covid there is NO difference price wise between iron, steel, or wood stands especially once you go over 55 gallons. And good luck finding a used one without getting stuck with a tank that might leak, fish you don't want, and old crusty supplies.
