Ok, that didn’t go quite as planned. Preparing to stain the shelf boards, I suddenly realized I’d have to move the 5 gallon tank first.

Which involved finding unwinding and pulling out all the cables, plus finding unwinding and pulling out all the cables on the big tank, reinstalling the cable chaos of the big tank in a non-chaotic way, and such that the little tank might be hooked up there too.

I then realized that the tank was too heavy to move. So, water out, move tank, reinstall all the cables, start to put water back in.

But there are cherries in that tank, and I took out about 2/3. If I replace all that at the same time, the cherries are gonna go belly up, so now I’m replacing a quart at a time.

I also realized that there’s condensation inside the glass of the heater. That can’t be good, right? I’d better look that up.

The good news is, most of the cable chaos is now under control and the 5 gallon tank has been moved to its permanent position.

The bad news: I haven’t even started on the boards yet.
