my clowns have settled in well and arent shy at alll brave little things.
today i thought id go aiptasia hunting and get rid of the one in the tank, you can imagine how people question an 18 year old asking for a needle at a chemist .... they didnt have any so i had to settle for a syringe
the aiptastia has disapeered now so i dunno wether thats good or not!!
and another question my timer for my lights stopped working and i have no idea why, any one have any thoguhts on why it would just stop working
