Been a while, so I thought I'd check back in! Tank is doing well, but is still awaiting a re-plumb on the drains so it's not so stinking loud! It's...
Re-landscape
Any update?
Like Tom Petty sang. "The Waiting is the Hardest Part"
Here's a ray of hope: once it got stung and looked like this. Took months to nurse him back to health. Yours can recover too....
