    Wow @f-fish... you are unbelievable!!!!

    If I may ask, what fish do you keep outside apart from guppies or are these planted tanks only?

    Space is also a curse, it means it is easy to rope oneself into a long term project that you really really do not have the energy for ;-) got close actually donating all the stuff, but a good clean has me feeling better about things.

    One day I will have a real fishroom, outside then none of this will be an issue I hope.

    @Marais - this year nothing breeding outside. I literally moved the small tanks and the corner unit out as it was in the fishroom. So they have plants, danios, kribs, and guppies. Might even hoof the convict tank out - it is on thin ice.

    nope - no protein skimmer needed in a tropical / planted aquarium - if you get a residue on the surface go figure out why and fix the problem.

    No power on any fishtanks or lights at the moment ... the artery has been cut, stuff moved ... all intelligence is down for a black weekend clean.

    Well that was a bit silly, shattered the 6mm glass shelf on top of Lucky13 .. lost the dual LED tube - but saved all the res of the gear that I was busy installing. I had some timber that is now the shelf. Good thing I had extra LED tubes.

    Still at the clean-up and sort out..

    I am a bit of a collector - no really one has to be if most of the shops are closed when you want to play. Into categorizing and labeling containers - up to 18 ... lucky most are not this full.

    Finding space for them is the challenge now.

    So the standing desk thing is not so lekker when it gets cold - you wanna be able to be able to cuddle up to TASA right.

    Moved the perfect 10 .. and the PC is now back on the desk. The wiring is actually better than what it looks in the picture, no really.

    One day you should do a video tour of all your tanks. It's hard to imagine it all from just photos.

    video ... hmmm - done a few shorts on gluetube - but I am not a big fan of voice overs or talk and shoots. Agree stills are hard to get the entire picture.
