I’ve been wanting to do that for the longest time. Now I can finally take my desk lamp back to use as intended.
Some of the cherry babies are still in the old tank with only two inches of water. Man, those suckers are hard to catch. I put a makeshift trap in and hope I can pull them out tomorrow.

I wasn’t really prepared to deal with those. Have to read up on what conditions they need.
My assassins are also doing well. I keep seeing little ones poking out of the gravel. And the cherries are doing their thing without my meddling.

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.
