* Saturday: We had a lovely lunch with really excellent handmade ice cream, hit the fish store for the new lights, and went to want turned out to be a really excellent concert. After we got back we had Russian dumplings at the place downtown. I was exhausted by this point, and went to bed early, though I did set up the twenty light I ended up buying after cleaning the far tank, sine it really needed it and I kind of want to do a test to see if these new fangled lights are goig to work. I still really need a glass cover for the thirty, Tavy having smashed it when he took out most of the 30 gallon's light array. (This is why 1. we can't have nice things. 2. I evacuated the 30 gallon a couple of years ago.) I'm going to see if I can solve that this week.
Reminder: I'm super busy Tuesday this week and won't be around on the 22nd for solstice activities.
