Developments around Todd Household

We got home from Birmingham and then visiting with my parents around 8 PM last night. I checked the aquarium and found more of the egg batches all over several leaves of the amazon sword plants. Which leads me to believe that that picture labeled "Killifish Eggs?" should really be labeled "Snail Eggs - Uggghhh!" Crud. The bad part is that now I have to try to remove the gellish batches of eggs off of the plants without destroying the plants themselves. This is going to be fun...



One other note of interest about the aquarium is that my homemade CO2 injector progress has been stymied by the lack of holding ability of silicon. The silicon that was used to hold the airline connectors in the cap of the Aquafina bottle broke loose last night and I'm probably going to have to use some epoxy to do the job. I thought I might end up using epoxy anyway, I just wished I had found out before last night.



Last night I also installed the moon light that I purchased from Fish Tails in Rainbow City. I'll take some pictures and upload them as soon as I get some time (which may be a while!)



Last note - I checked on the mocking bird chicks this morning before leaving for work, and they're gone. Wow, on Sunday afternoon, they were squawking, chirping and making a general racket and just two days later, the nest is empty. I guess I didn't realize how close they were to leaving the nest.



Well, off to work I go - with the holiday, this week is going to be very busy: Five days of work to be squeezed into four days...



Later!
