The sweet potato is growing really well producing many slips. I decided to pull out the slips, gave them to my mother in law who then planted them in the backyard garden. We will see if the slips will grow into more sweet potato tubers. In the meantime I've put back the "mother tuber" into the tank again. I'm quite impressed with how fast it has growing in the last 4 weeks.

Having to put another fish to sleep is a really shitty way to start a Monday.

This is the problem with the #fishkeeping hobby - when you setup a tank and stock it with a load of babies, they all grow up together, but they all grow old together too. So you end up losing them one after another.

I think I might hang up my buckets once these all pass.

I had an algae problem in my 55gal freshwater aquarium.

I had to go out of town for several days. Instead of keeping the lights on the programmed timer while I was away I kept them turned off.

Returned from my trip after 5 days and no sign of algae when I turned the lights back on. The plans and moss are doing well and not covered in algae.

All the fish are still alive and everything looks good.

When the problem re-occurs I'll go through the same process. Turn off the lights for a period of time...
