• 7th Spawn Progress And Water Change

    From Jeff Snyder@1:345/3777 to All on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 10:11:00
    Today marks day #11 since Mama Mbuna spawned for the seventh time, since I purchased her at our LFS in April of 2009. She has found a comfortable safe haven amongst the rocks near the center of the tank, where -- for the most
    part -- she has been able to escape the aggressive advances of the dominant male. The surviving fry from her first six spawns continue to grow, and the tank is looking quite populated.

    Yesterday I also conducted a 15-gallon water change, which is over a third
    of the tank's volume. I decided to only lower the water level to the top of
    the rocks, as I didn't want to disturb Mama Mbuna too much. A few days ago I also washed out the sponges in the Penguin 330 Bio-Wheel filters. I likewise cleaned the algae from the front and side glass panes, and stirred up the
    sand along the panes using my turkey baster.

    All is well in Mbunaland. :)

    Hello Mark. Thanks for letting me know. After three weeks of frustration, I finally heard from my uplink. As it turns out, it seems that my uplink had
    a corrupted message on his end which was jamming up the works. I also had
    to delete the data files for 22 FidoNet echoes on my end, which means that I lost a lot of messages; but I am sure that over the next few weeks, my echoes will fill up with messages again. I just hope that this problem is behind me for good.
