Cat-tastrophe!
So during my weekly water change this morning, my 7month old kitten decided to go for a swim :rage. Which sent my main shelf of acros to the sand bend... upside down... and on top of my hammer....(Expletive Deleted). Water everywhere on the carpet, not good as my tank is upstairs in my study, and to top it off i had just run out of NSW. Safe to say, not a good start to the morning.

Trip to Deer Park was now a must, get water, look at pretty things, clear head, come home and fix things properly. Things were going well, easy 1hr drive into melb, all drums in car easily, and a decent coffee on the way. Then things looked up, my Chemi-Pure Blue was in :D and Dave had some REALLY nice acro's left over (god knows how) from the shipments on Thursday and Friday, so that was a win too (pic bellow).

But then more bad :banghead managed to break the internal screen on my phone lifting water into the car, not the glass, the actual screen underneath... so more swearing, and a shitty drive home, before heading in to buy a new phone...

But all has ended OK, new acro in, rock work re-puttied and set, and i think it may have all come out a little better o_0 but hey, thats part the fun in this hobby... right?

Anyways, here is the newest addition to the tank, not the best photo, taken on my S5, but hopefully you get the idea

I saw some photos of mind blowing acros, literally never seen anything like them.

Thankfully this is the first, AND LAST, time my cat has done this, have 2 cats, this one is just crazy, scared the shit out of her (she fell in more than jumped, after standing on my water drum and peering into the top).

So dont let this turn you off getting a cat lol, just a shitty morning for me :dead

What a day mate lol at least it's all over and didn't turn out too badly ;) I saw that piece as it went into the tank and you definitely got yourself a nice one!

Fantastic :) if you hold my chihuahua above the tank he starts "swimming". I don't know how more cats don't end up in tanks!

Gorgeous coral.
