Stuff that happened to you today but isn't worth a thread

3 Of my 4 Amanos escaped my 2ft tank over the last couple days, through the smallest of lid gaps. Managed to rescue one yesterday, but this morning found two dead. One had somehow made it from my office all the way into our lounge (at least 10m away?).
Crazy. I've had them for months and they've never tried escaping, and my tank TDS is always consistent, all other inhabitants are fine.

Best guess is minor rise in Ammonia from all the load shedding, while my HOB sits idle. That said, very little stock in the tank, so quite strange.
I mention it for anyone else that has Amanos, check your lids if rimless, maybe lower water level. I'll be modifying my lid and have added some Stability, which I'll use occasionally.

 

I heard about the UK orders rules also. Been thinking of heading there if not home but for us it's a no go currently from here.

SA to here isn't possible without 14day quarantine in a green country for us

 

And August lol. Well not off, I'll still be working from wherever I am

 

That last bit made me chuckle so hard

This is true though. But here restrictions were in place from march 2020 and it just hasn't eased in any way. There was an announcement about new laws in place from the 1st of July so just hoping it's in our favour. However now here we need to test once a month and produce our application which shows tested negative within 30days to enter most public places if you vaccinated and 3 days if you're not. So hoping the same goes for us with international travel.

 

Oh my.. excellent news. So she heads out on the next flight?

 

Okay would really love to know the travel procedure from here.

Really glad you guys are in the clear.

 

I honestly start to wonder how accurate all these covid tests are.
My nephew in Germany tested positive on 2 quick result tests, but then went on to test negative on a pcr test the next day.
Your sil has now also tested positive and then negative (also different types of tests).
So how do we ever know that the results we get are true?

 

Washing my ada sand off today to add to a tank (the last of it I might add) my daughter decided to help me by trying to wash it with hand soap ;-; is there anyway to get the soap out of the sand or will I just have to throw it away?
