Had too much rice wine last night during a Fathers' Day dinner with family, got home and collapsed on bed once again! Muahahaha. Apparently, David Tao was in the same Korean restaurant but he didn't come out of his private room before we left, so my sisters were somewhat disappointed. Was in a pretty crabby mood, and became highly critical of the staff. Oh dear. Bad bad bad. I didn't say or do anything of course, but was just feeling pissed.
Rice wine was great! Had 4 bowls of that stuff, wonder if I'll get food poisoning if I try to make it at home?
Dewi and XW. Man in grey behind is the irritating manager, who redeemed himself later.
I did collect the rainwater yesterday, but was way too lazy to start mixing the salt. Ended up blasting swing music in the room with Johnny Walker for company.
OH DEAR. I just saw something alarming - a surge! One of my wall sockets suddenly sparked, and I was just wondering if my eyes were going bonkers, when a rumble of thunder followed. Omg.
Anyway, back to the tank (you get the idea that I'm rambling and talking to no one in particular?) Had a good think about it, and still stuck as to what to do. Of course, I'm going the route of mending the old tank's water and restarting, but what do I want to do with this? Some choices:
1) The usual reef shelf habitat. Soft and hard corals, reef fish, tonnes of water circulation, maintaining water at 25C. High maintenance, as usual, but rewarding with all the polyps swaying around.
2) FOWLR (fish only with live rock) and maybe some hardy soft corals. I'm slightly irked by these tanks, however, since bare rocks are seriously ugly. But oooh - the fish I can keep! And most likely I wouldn't need such strict temperature control.
3) Something totally new - seagrass/offshore weed forest habitat. I'm rather keen to try this, I'm imagining seaweeds and algaes of different sorts and colours, the occasional hardy coral and some invertebrates. Maybe even a frogfish!! What's more, nutrient control will not be a problem with all the nitrogen fixation going on. Hmmm. Tempting. Would be perfect with seahorses, but their need to eat at least 2-3 times a day is seriously prohibitive.
Yeah, likely the weed forest! Yay. Now to do some online scouring for ideas.
