what are you doing today that is tank related?

Fish arrived. Time to change some water in the 10 since it's cloudy from the sand. Gotta start acclimating these guys too.

 

Glad yours came I am still waiting on 15 endlers and 15 ember tetras and have to leave for work in an hour *sigh* I hate the post office.

 

lol, why are you just now adding sand? =P lol

 

The sand is added already. I added it earlier. I wasn't sure what I wanted to put in the tank as substrate.

 

finished putzing with the 20L, added the light, took photos and posted for all to see

 

Just did water changes. Dawn, you will be so proud. I have planted the crap out of my tank. I'm hooked now. I want everything! I have Amazon Sword, Wysteria, Java Fern, and some other stuff that i'm not really sure of. I've been on a mission lately. I'm gonna find something that grows really tall and thick to replace the fake stuff that I have in there now. My Discus are loving swimming through all of the plants. Kind of a pain to clean around but well worth it! I'm gonna try to post some new pics tomorrow...

 

look forward to the photos! try cabomba..stuff grew faster than most weeds in my setup. Get's really tall..thick/wide (about 1" -1 & 1/2" wide per stem)...can clip and replant the clippings too. The purple grew better/faster than the green.

 

resetting the timers...forgot I unplugged everything during the redo and didn't realize it until I saw the 90g lights still on at 12

 

finish tearing down the 40 tall and get it cleaned and sold.

45 tall needs to be cleaned and stored.

finished the lighting on the 210 last night, got it hung nicely TEK LIGHT FTW!!!!

ordered a new 100gpd unit, spectrapure blew it off for over 5 weeks now, next week shipping excuse every week for the past 3 weeks. ordered a different 100gpd 5 stage unit w/ 4gal reservior tank.

today is cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning.

 

Fed the fish and dosed the tanks with Excel. Dumped a little Prime in the 10 gallon. Everyone's going to have to fast for 2 days. Have to remember to pull out the cucumber from the 20 before I leave.

 

just finished adding sand to the 90g (over the eco-complete planted)..not used to the light color and wishing I hadn't added it.

dosed the tank with kent pro-clear and a touch of prime to be on the safe side.

Fed everyone, attempted to catch the bristlenoses again, too darn quick and would hide (not ripping the tank apart)...so I'll just prolly leave them there until they get larger.

 

Drained the turtle tank, since I moved her, in preparation for the new snake.

 

just finished ordering my discus
posted photos of the 90g now that the eco's been topped with pool filter sand ... also posted photo comparison of 2 bulbs (morning light) and 4 bulbs (midday light)

 

I'm setting up 2nd tank with today with rena xp2 and a new material called super naturals that can be used in Fresh or Salt water tanks looking Good!!!

 

was going to plant, fill and fire up the 210, instead helping a friend move for some bill money.

 

fed both tanks (90 & 20)...tanks are looking great! Crystal clear...good plant growth...fry in the endler side...and dwarf honey gourami displaying mating behavior (wrapping around each other and swirling about). Yup, everything in tank world is PERFECT (at least today) LoL!

 

did water changes...rearrange decor in the fry tank.

 

fed the discus..AGAIN!
I guess I should be glad they're eating as I've read where many have issues with them NOT eating.
Man, they are defin piggos!

 

The 2nd tank is up and running and the fish come from utah on tuesday. 52 Gallon Hex Tank for Cichlids

 

rigged a fake cover for the spawning honey gouramis...see more about it in the 90g thread (can click link in signature).
