I want to congratulate you for hanging in there through the tough times. I believe your adorable kids have learned patience and the responsibility of caring for the livestock. Very valuable lessons for children. Great job. I wish you continued success with your tank. I hope you keep the journal updated when you can.

Well said, and I completely agree. 

 

The pics I have enjoyed the most throughout this have been the ones with your boys in it, I love seeing that interest and sense of wonder. 

Really enjoyed all of the most recent pics you posted.

Sorry. The angle of your picture reminded me of the Lone Cypress in Montery, Ca.

Famous on my cross country trip in 1976 (42 days) I took a picture of that tree. Guess it was a different one. Maybe in 44 years it grew.

Sooo.... Oddly enough my lid is ripped and dips in the tank. Over time algae grew on it. Now every 2 weeks I take the algae off and let it regrow. It's kinda like a algae scrubber in a way. I normally take the lid off for photos but I was lazy.

Side note I don't get any algae in the tank.
