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

    I just removed 60-70 gallons of water from my 4 tanks and refilled with 80-90 gallons.... all using a 5 gallon bucket.... 3 tanks took a 75% waterchange.

    I did a 75% cold/cool water change on my 125 hoping to simulate a rain...... we will see what this does. I have never took my water down this far at one time... usually it is a 20-30% change weekly... it has been a week and a half since my last water change though... I feel like I have been slipping.... too busy/lazy this past few weeks.

    Today I did a 25% water change along with pruning some of the plants. Tomorrow my new heater and Tetra Master Test Kit will come in the mail.

    Water changes on the 10g, 40g and 37g, and will do a PWC tonight on the 150. Started new batch of BBS hatching. If I get as good a crop as I got last time I will freeze them.

    Want to go to the LFS, but there are no decent ones in this entire city. :(

    Need sterbai cories and cardinals. PetsMart sometimes has cardinals, might try there.
