please don't ask

why it was necessary for me to do this, unless you want one big rant about all the things that have thwarted my aquarium setup. One more thing gone wrong today. Now I've got all my plants and snail in a bucket on a chair in the kitchen. With a mini heater and airstone running. For a day or two probably.

It does look kind of cool, a small underwater garden.

But I hope this doesn't last.

The good thing is that, well, I was almost ready to do a big water change anyways. And now I can remove the cyanobacteria and algae that are encroaching on my unstable water habitat. But this is really starting to get beyond frustrating. Blarg.
