It’s Monday, and I owe you all a status update.  Last Thursday, I spent the day moving the tank around the room.   I thought we had an agreed upon spot, but the family agreement was that  I get the basement, and she gets the house.  Thus, the Ecoxotic tank, the Lightning Maroon’s future home, is in my wife’s domain, and thus, must play by her rules!  Of course, she selected a spot well away from any outlet.  I have called the electrician who installed the 220V line for our stove when we moved in.  Friday-Sunday I spent speaking on breeding at the Washington DC Marine Aquarium Society‘s meeting (thanks for hosting me guys).
Back to Duluth, and I have over 1000 images of the new home for the Lightning Maroon.  I think tonight I’ll finally get to water test, although electrical will be provided via an extension cord.  I cannot believe that like the entire fishroom basement, so much of my breeding efforts continue to be hamstrung by 100 year old wiring.  So the lesson for the week – if you’re thinking about a fishroom, buy new or build it yourself!
Stay tuned…
