The Glass is Too Big - Home

After a couple of really hectic weeks, I'm in the latter half of a 4 day weekend. Lots of things that had been put off, some enjoyable, some not so much are getting crossed off of the invisible list in the back of my brain.

I've spent time with family, had breakfast with my good friend Aaron (something we're going to be doing more often), cleaned dangerously under-tended areas of my house (the health department should have intervened in my bathroom), played poker with good friends, and did some chilling out with the 2 fuzzy monks watching movies like Buckaroo Bonzai and Ghostbusters.

One of the enjoyable things I've been putting at the bottom of my priorities was filling the 75 gallon tank in the home theater. I had Aaron help me move it in and level it *months* ago and even filled it and got all of the equipment up and running and then just left it sit dry and empty for far too long. After doing the hydroponic project, I had a renewed taste for doing more of the hands-on stuff for a bit and grabbed all of the technical bits and set it up during the week, leaving it ready for fish yesterday.

I headed to World of Fish and picked up the first batch of livestock which are now swimming around in the new tank:

• 4 Yellow Labs
  
  
• 2 Red Zebra
  
  
• 1 common pleco
  
  
• 2 clown pleco's
  
  

I'd post pics of mine specifically, but the tank's cloudy with bacterial bloom (just like it should be with added bio-load). I'm already digging this group of fish. They're colorful and active (the cichlids) and suitably strange looking (the plecos) to make for an interesting tank going forward. I'm not 100% on what I'm going to be adding next.

I'm deliberately leaving the house painting project alone this weekend (though the rain is making that more of an academic distinction). I'll get back on the ladder next weekend.
