been a while but here's an ongoing project (aquariums always are).

for the last month or so i have been dealing with sick fish of which 3 of them died. they were a yellow tang, blue damsel and finally my black and white clown fish aka saddle back clown fish i think.

as if it couldn't get any worse, the tank lighting went south. the upper lighting spectrum circuit let the smoke out so i ordered one wednesday and it arrived today. i got that together and installed but not before a very slight piping water leak soaked the power strip causing a circulation pump and my semi-new uv filter to fry. i had a spare circulation pump (in the right top corner there) but the uv filter will have to wait.

i suppose i could splice on a new plug but would rather not do that. come to think of it i might to it for a temporary fix until the new one arrives.

anyway, here is a pic of the tank now all cleaned up and ready (i think) for more inhabitants. on the side of caution i'm going to wait another week and keep a close eye on the 3 fish that are in there. and yeah, i quarantined the sick fish and treated them but to no avail.
