spent the better part of yesterday and today working on the fish tanks… I’ve been thinking about how far I’ve come from the person who admired the tank, but had no desire to get my hands dirty… that was all for my beloved…

yesterday I used the pump (for emptying the hot tub) to remove the majority of the water that was still in them… then I removed the rocks and scrubbed down the sides… never leave a tank partly filled because the scum on the glass becomes rather difficult to remove, lol…

next I used the wet vac to remove the last of the water…

in between all that, I scrubbed each and every rock from the tanks… that took a while as I did it between reading times;-)…

rocks were placed back in, and then the hose brought in from outside to fill them up…

finally I put both pumps back in and got them working…

big job and it looks great…
