    Been catching up on your vids & loving them! (I was out of the loop a while.) ❤ Thank you for continuing to make interesting and fun content! 🐟

    Well that was great fun, Kaity! And thank you to Jack, Bree and Kai ( I sure hope I'm spelling their names correctly 🙂) When you were looking at the goldfish tank with the plastic plants I got to thinking that all aquascapes, no matter how natural looking they are, are still contrived. Each one is its own work of art. No two are ever alike. And as you said with the goldfish tank - looking at it makes you happy. And that's what it's all about. That's what keeps me coming back and looking at and building tanks. They make me happy. And then when the inhabitants are added and the tanks come to life, there's a whole new level of joy brought out. When I sit in front of one of my tanks and the fish do something and I catch my self smiling . . . well that's what it's all about! Have a great trip back to the States, Kaity! ~Ron
