The Fish Wall Reset

So for the new year, corporate decided that we should refresh our tanks on the fish wall.

...Since they're not giving us a new fish wall this year *exhales* the next best thing is to do a 'makeover' of sorts.

Said makeover being that we're getting rid of all our old decorations and gravel and replacing them with new decorations and gravel.

Though I suppose we're not yet actually getting rid of all the old ornaments. No, work wants us to put them all in boxes and place them on a pallet and store them away 'just in case' they want to use them later on. *exhales* Survey says that's not gonna happen, but yah....it's a matter of going through all the ornaments in the tanks and throwing away the broken ones and saving the 'good' ones for later.

In any case.

I'm kinda excited for the reset.

Because we're going to be dividing our fish wall into 7 different 'theme' sections that will showcase different gravel colors and different types of ornaments in the various tanks.

Which will be nice because it will be great to see a different color of rock on the wall besides the 'natural' as we're going to be using blues and multicolore and sand and the like. 

And then we'll actually have ornaments on the fish wall that are the ornaments we sell to customers as well. 

That way we won't constantly have customers asking us if we carry certain ornaments....when we haven't had the ornaments in our tanks for sell to customers in years...as they were all gotten rid of.

Though it was a bit of a process figuring out just how to divide up our tanks so that we could showcase each theme.

As we've added in 2 plant tanks and 2 turtle tanks...which means our fish wall isn't exactly to the planogram given to us.

And originally I was going to just have sections of 9 tanks (3 columns X 3 rows) until I realized that they wanted us to keep the themes in the 'same order' and that our 'glow fish' theme would not be in the 'glow fish tanks' if I kept it to the 3X3 plan. *shakes head*

But yah. My other manager and I spent most of today setting up the first handful of tanks. Which included pulling out all the ornaments and then scooping out all the gravel and then dumping in the new gravel and then finally gathering up the new ornaments and setting them in the tanks.

I do have to say that the new minimalistic theme is rather nice. Far nicer than I expected. 

It actually makes our more 'decorated' tanks look more...crowded...tacky?? They just don't look as nice. lol Which is only spurring me and my other manager to work faster to get all the tanks switched over to the new look.

The new look being one plant and one ornament decoration.

Already I think it's pretty nice. Only having 2 items in the tanks already is making it easier to catch the fish. XD lol. So that's been great. 

 

I can't wait to see how the entire wall looks. lol Though originally corporate was only planning on having us set 2 themes a week...it looks like we're on track to have the entire fishwall reset before the end of the week. So yay! :D 

Yay for new beginnings lol

Until you next find these words;
I'll be watching the leaves. 
Enjoy the day!
