what are you doing today that is tank related?

hi hi,today i do 30% partial water change of my discus aquarium.and my discus take food from my hand...

 

fed, fed, and fed some more...replanted a few sprigs of rotalla wallichi that my herd of corys managed to knock out...and just sat back and admired!

 

In morning start to measure and design hood for 29 gal tank. Now if I can sleep without mind wandering on a design plan. LOL

 

30x12x18 (unless you have a heavy duty dresser or stand...diy sometimes cost just as much as a store bought ime)...but then again I have a 90g and the footprint is much larger.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/PETCO-Manhattan-Gallon-Metal-Stand/dp/B002CYUUEI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.amazon.com/PETCO-Manhattan-G ... B002CYUUEI</a> $34.19 and free shipping! (it's the same one foster & smith has, but they want more).

IF you have a Ollie's Outlet by you I'd give them a check, because mine had a stand for your size tank (wooden with cabinets beneath). <a class="postlink" href="http://www.olliesbargainoutlet.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.olliesbargainoutlet.com/</a>

Otherwise a store bought wooden stand will run ya about $100 (ouch).

Oh, and in case your looking...ebay has several canopy's for a 29g running right now.

 

I have all the supplies already laying around. So all I'm purchasing is LED lights for under $30. I luv DIY projects! I'm retired and have extra time on my hands. Gives me something to do.

 

did water changes on all tanks...put a new air pump on the 55g.

 

got rid of all the filler fish in the tank, got new additions to two tanks over the past two days.

40g tall
3(1 male two female) true albino guppies, down the the pindot pink eyes
2 pygmy corydoras


52g FBH
3 new angels blushing golden kois
5 cardinal tetras

Now going to put the micron cartridge in the mag 350 and watch the angels frolick

on a side note, one of my peppered corydora females went on a spawning spree and littered the tank with eggs.

 

Well after breaking the forum (still working on adding everything back) I took a break and added a huge piece of driftwood to my tank and took out 90% of the wisteria I had in there. I've got a bunch of extra plants piled up ready to sell.

 

PM me with a plant list and prices and ill be sure to send some money your way, I need to replant my angel tank, I run no co2 and 80w of light on it and ferts.

 

Hopefully will get my shipment of plants today, First online order. From AquaBid.

 

Well plants came won a plant pkg for a 29 gal and ended up with over 30 plants all green and healthy. Had to put some in hospital tank. 4 hours later the fish are really enjoying themselves. Now relax time for me.

 

Fixin to make room for a good size chunk of hollow cypress driftwood. 9.5"x6.5"x7" I think its going to be a flame moss anchor.

 

well for the.....

90g got gsa scraped off, a bit of a rearrange, 1 piece of driftwood removed from r. corner, partial, and filters were due, & glass canopy's were cleaned too!

downstairs 10g got 1 piece of driftwood (cut down in size) added, some wisteria and plant clippings added too, gsa scraped off, partial, and filters were due, & glass canopy was cleaned too!
