    Re: What are You Doing That is Tank Related Today?

    Stopped at petsmart and couldnt resist buying a clown loach, my tank is cycled, and the weekly water changes i do has been keeping everything perfect, I saw prime there so i bought a bigger botle of it for 10 bucks, im going to use that instead of tetra aquasafe, which worked fine, but i heard so much good stuff about the prime by dawn and anthony. The loach is fitting in perfect, in 1 hour he cleaned the bottom of my tank up so nicely, and i got a gravel vacum, which wow, works awsome, i had no idea rocks got so dirty, did my 40 percent water change, took out my white ruin structure, and kept it more natural, made a cave out of rocks and a hunk of slate, looks really good, so yeah also got a new heater and i bought another fishtank(20 bucks on cl) another 30 gal, with all the goodies, a brand new stealth heater still in the package came with it, lol, talk about a steal, plants ornaments, rocks, cave,another heater, a under gravel filter(tossed) hand over the back filter(older,prolly will toss) airator, bubble rocks, lol i had a crazy aquarium day, all this on top of a 64 hr work week, and a 13 hour fire i had to put out last night(electrical fire) man, im beat but its all worth it sitting here watching my freshly changed tank, newly aquascaped with the cave, and the loach trying to play king in the tank.......

    did wc on both tanks and moved some of the decor around to change things up a bit.


    wart: congrats on the tank deal, can't wait for pics :D


    cool: glad you got the leak fixed, good thing you've got floor drains. i would love to build a room on with a cement floor w/drains, water hook-ups, ect.
    i'll just have to put it on my wish list. lol

    transferred some guppy babies to the 10g, dosed the 90g, and removed the sae's since they've been harassing each other and weren't looking so hot.
