I just checked to see when I got the Harlequin Shrimps. That was just back in December. They have totally cleaned the tank of astrea stars. I'm talking complete genocide. So much so that I'm going to have to get them a chocolate chip star now and again to feast on so they'll stop sitting and staring at me.
The RO extravaganza has been done and the softener installed. It still makes RO water
very slowly, but fast enough for me to take care of water changes properly, and to give me all that water (25 gallons) when I need it.
Tomorrow we're going up north to a Frag Swap, I can't wait to see what we come home with.
