    Had to move fish around. Kribs attacking everything in tank. Angels moved to 55 gal they love it. Set up other 55 gal just in case. (Lots and lots of caves in new 55) Now need to cycle it. (cry) I just got everything cycled. I don't want to do it!!!!!!!

    Water swapping between tanks. Then topping off 40 gallon. After that, I think I may be done for the water portion of the day. Couldn't sleep, so got an early start =D

    If room gets in order I can try to add new tanks =3 But, I'll have to get my stepdad to build me some new stands to keep them on XD
    But, I get it all cleaned out and we get things just right, I think I can add two new tanks. One under my TV and the other 2 in my closet. I don't keep clothes in there, so why not?

    Did a 50% water change then another 25% water change on the Angel/Endler tank. Got old foam inserts for my C220 soaking in a bucket of about 80% Bleach 20% water trying to get rid of that nasty smell. Ordered new pads but won't be here until Tuesday. Put the male Endler's back into the main tank and out of their breeding net. Figured there was no reason to have them separate from the Angels since they don't really bother them. Females are still in their own breeding net so fry survive.

    only 6? sweet, I got a 20g true corner tank two days ago, I gave it to my sister for my 4month old nephew(he loves fish especially the guppies), so might set that up tonight, seeded gravel, seeded filter, RO water.
    Stand work and am thinking of scrapping the 55g diy sump idea for a acrylic sump, running into height issues bad.

    UM Rams laid eggs I think, male will not leave this cave in my mopani wood, I need to feed him with a turkey baster while the new girl is all over the place. All fish are doing great today, discus came out to say good morning, though I find they are alot more active at night time. Oh keep it quite those fish know nothing of the 210 they are about to move into.
