Blizzard 2016 = Deep Clean of both large tanks

Post by singlemomwithcrab » Sun Jan 24, 2016 12:44 am

So I'm sore and tired but 6 hours later both tanks are looking beautiful...pics to follow.

Crabs have done baths, perimeter checks, ripped through the moss pit looking for lord knows what, and are settling down to eat.....

The Kiddo was not happy that I made him stand out side for a visual reference of the snow drift size...pitiful :twisted:

I just finished cleaning all the old shells that I pulled out of the tanks that I deemed too small at this point.

It is amazing to me how much they have grown.

Looking at some of the small shells make me want to go out and find some new micro's to bring home but it's the wrong time of year for that. Maybe I'll work on getting the 30 gal ready for spring when I can safely get some new babies. :roll:

Sad. We haven't even had a total of 5 inches all winter. We are in Indiana too, not Florida or anything. I don't like snow but it seems weird without it.

There's still some hanging around here but it's slowly melting. It's pretty and all but I'm not sad to see it go.
