One Hour and Three Minute Session, The Final Cut
After two years, Office Space II has finally hit the end of the road. It has been a wild ride.
All sorts of mishaps and accidents (I am sure the Eheim story is by far the most popular) has not only provided entertainment but also learning experience on maintaining a thriving High Tech Planted Nano Aquarium. I am confident my next endeavor will be something truly to behold.
During long absences, pandemics and other events that have shaped my life and progress of the tank, I am ready for the next chapter.
Will I journal? Of course, this time, it will be watching Office Space II morph into Artificial Island.
I need to take baby steps as I have inhabitants and wish to keep the stress level low as possible.
Today's session I did:
The Eheim is being replaced (yes nocturnalflower I have not forgot you are interested in my current one) with the next size up. Stainless steel output (Jet nozzle) and intake (w/Skimmer). Light remains, CO2 system remains. Powerhead goes into the trash, for the price I spent for the longevity, I did get my money's worth, but it was an eyesore.
While I will miss Office Space II, I am looking forward to stepping things up a notch and truly work on something different with Artificial Island.
Album this week: My "Liked" songs playlist on Spotify. Quite the variety but perfect for today.

Today's session I did:
- Trimmed Blyxa (as always). Tons of daughter plants ready to spring forth, will be using this plant in Artificial Island
- Trimmed and pruned the Hygrophila pinnatifida. This plant did not make the cut for Artificial Island. Of course I can split it up and hand it out to those whom want it (Locally or within the realm of Canuckistan)
- Trimmed the Hairgrass. This plant will be going and into the garbage. While I did enjoy the look, maintenance is a demon. Also, it seems to be a magnet for just about anything that will float onto or under it
- Trimmed the AR Mini (just the white roots). This plant will also be going. Also will hand it out (complete no splitting) when the time comes
- Buce, simply give a good cleaning with the wand while draining the water. Will be a part of Artificial Island.
