Happy New Year to all.
Woke up to a small tragedy this morning with the little tropical tank somehow killing all its animal inhabitants. It was fine on Saturday when I tested, routine cleaned, and fed but yesterday was very quiet, and this morning it was just not right somehow. So I checked chemistry and sure enough, disaster. A few hours later all tinies retrieved and sent to rest under the peach tree, and the tank cleaned and reset to start all over again. I wish I knew what caused it, but seeing it happened so fast I suspect a toxin - maybe from the Saturday water change? or maybe a heat surge, a mystery to be pondered upon. Plants are fine, so not a total loss, but sad nevertheless.
Now for a coffee, then to clean up this flat, what a mess, buckets and wet things, lol. Not the way to start a new year...
