Good News!! The flood thread looks like it won't happen today!! I guess they received less rain than they thought, and much of it fell as snow in the higher elevations so that will take longer to melt. That is a big relief!!!
You are right John Huff, the cold weather and water causing delay in filters maturing proper. I also noticed that the cold water is delaying the growth of my hornwort, which like the water to be warm, so I am still having some string algae issues here and there, as the algae will still grow very good in the cold, so it is beating the hornwort right now!
Rain has stopped, hoping that the sun will shine really bright today!!!
