I am struggling with low energy this week. The fish are off too. They are still in the old tank and can see the new one and are all like: “Hey, when are we moving in?” Soon my friends, very soon….
Stop by Menards on the way home from Green Bay to pick up a little saw. Get home and saw a notch in the tank rim to install the new light for my tank. Set up the lighting schedule with an app on my iphone. The fish and the plants will love the new tank.
