Fully stocked, am I right? :P  

 

 

It's gonna be a busy weekend... Rocks and sand go in the tank (and then an at-home gel manicure) tomorrow, date Friday, doctor's appointment and the best friend's place Saturday... 

 

So it looks like Sunday will be the aquarium day? Can't wait!

It's bed time! :P I suspect between work and tank-filling I'll be breaking another nail or two; I can't leave them like that for Friday!

Jamberry and then put gloves on.  No chipping with jamberries.  I can fish, ride (horses), and do tank stuff without damaging my nails.  I wear gloves while doing all those activities but my gel manicures still tend to chip despite that

  The Jamberries stay in place though.  Find someone who sells them.  Almost every girl knows someone.

I hope everyone's keeping a list of what they were doing and now they're not. lol I know I am.  I mean, aside from super secret final plan, you can just read my thread :P

I seriously have no idea what's going in my tank yet. Oh boy.

I have man hands too.  Oh well :lol:  Between painting, reef tanks and gardening, there's no nice manicure here.  Post up the manicure photos, Maria!

I'll do my best! In my defense, it's the first time I mess with gel polish and I just broke a couple of nails yesterday? :P I'll try to keep my left hand intact for you guys :wub:

I was all excited to have been summoned here and then... :wacko:

 

How about I avoid traumatizing the poor Kimberbee :P  

 

Or maybe I'll post them anyway! Don't worry, they're totally normal feet!

Maria that olive green is a nice color, I may have to try it. Once I am done with my ferrari red that it. I'm never done with it though. It's sassy.

Tank is wet

omgomgomg

 

It's actually a lot brighter green than you'd expect :P If you google OPI's 'I'm Sooo Swamped!' you'll see. Date picked it out :blush:

 

Tank is extra wet, there's an inTank media basket in there! :) Using the polyfilter floss so far; water was clear this morning but I had to run.

Okay, then!

 

I think from now on I'll use @lkoechle's secret rock/sand person, because this white slime bacteria is going to follow me throughout this house. I can't stop everyone else from using air fresheners and household cleaners, but I've managed to control the nutrient levels in the Fusion 20 so that it hasn't come back.

 

On the other hand, the contest tank has plenty of stuff dying to fuel the issue! :furious: The ammonia badge shows nothing, of course. I'm getting phosphates and organics under control the best I can and there will be close-ups soon as the slime clears up!

Come to think of it, my QT had a white slime out break.  I think it was plastics in the hidey holes that caused it.  But I never was able to figure out what caused it :-/  No aerosols in my house either.  You have me nervous about the badge since I don't have an ammonia test kit except the badge. lol  But my badges have always worked... and so far everything's still alive. so... I guess its working for me.  I figure if it isn't, the porcelain crabs and Mr Cling would be dead by now...
