  And in a similar but completely different way, the fish are being added to massive bodies of water. Home aquariums are minute in comparison, so they can’t balance out chemical swings as easily and are much more prone to higher levels of nitrites and other toxic chemicals. The larger the body of water, the more stable the water quality.

  Is this by any chance inspired by the recent Technology Connections video? As a homeowner with a brutal western exposure, I’m in the same boat.

  When I was on the fence about teaching English any longer, a friend of mine encouraged me to try software development because “[I] know languages, and [I] like to build things.” I still feel a lot more comfortable with a saw and clamps, but I think he’s right.
