Playing with the tanks as it gently rains outside. The sad one is taking its time to reestablish, but it will happen. The plants are doing very well, but I'm not risking fish for a while yet. And I made a climbing pole for my heart leaf philodendrons out of some ancient coir fibre and repotted the several cuttings into just the one pot, unwinding their exuberant growth was a test of my wool untangling skills, but it looks so much better than multiple pots . One of those 'on the To Do list' projects ticked off.
You might temember the turbo oven that blew all the electrics - I have repurposed the big glass bowl into an indoor pond aquarium, with a simple desk lamp and a grow bulb, and have planted it up with cuttings. It looks interesting and the Tatty cat is highly intrigued. I think she considers it an extra large water bowl, lol. It is around 12 litres, so could take a handful of minnows, maybe some of the babies, but we will see. I am hoping the plants do so well they spill out of the top, the terrestrial form of aquatic plants is often very different to the underwater version, and then there are mini waterlilies. One of those would be fun...
