I have a dang flower in one of my 20 longs. I'm shocked. This tank is running fine. Animals seems healthy but I'm not really doing anything special. This makes me feel like this tank is exactly dialed in though if this plant is so happy it wants to flower! I think it's some sort of Buce but I've bought many randoms from /r/AquaSwap.</p> <p><a href="mailto:michael@michaelharley.net?subject=Re:%20July%2027,%202026">Reply via email</a></p> 2026-07-25T11:48:24Z https://michaelharley.net/photos/2026/07/25/ <p><img src="https://michaelharley.net/photos/images/2026-07-25-feed.jpg" alt="A tabby and white cat wearing a dark collar sits on a metal examination table in a veterinary clinic, looking directly at the camera with alert green eyes.

First, I got a new 'feature' in Firefox and it just showed up when I opened my browser for the morning a few days ago. Dismiss, go away, I don't want it thank you so much.
