Ok, so my 2.5g sprang a leak. It wasn't bad, but I was losing about 1/2 inch everyday. I had the SW to replace it, but I know leaks get worse, not ever better. So I opted to find another tank. I'll post a new journal. After all, new tank, new journal.
Thanks for looking at this journal, though, I'll link this one to the new one, so you get an idea of how this tank started. A final image from that tank... I found my panda goby. Little guy got fat on pods.
