I have returned!
I didn’t go very far, I was just away from a computer for a few weeks. It sucked, but I made it out alive. Plus I had time to do some writing… which didn’t do me much good.
Our first attempt at aquaponics has ended in failure 🙁 The fish died and were sadly buried in the garbage can.
It wasn’t our fault — I’m a registered fish killer, but these ones were not my victims. The pet store sold us ich infected fish that ended up floating belly up. We should have gone back for a refund, but by the time we realized the fish in the store’s tanks were covered in spots and acting sickly, we’d already thrown the deaders in the garbage. So the whole fish experience was a waste of money and a wash. Sucks.
We’re trying again with some new fish that my brother special ordered. Hopefully I’ll be growing lettuce, spinach, and tomatoes in just a few days. Fingers crossed!
