what are you doing today that is tank related?

trying to decide where to put the angel that is lowest on totem pole, Getting picked on badly and fins starting to get nipped. It's funny because he's the second largest fish in the tank.

 

Set up a 20 long for the shell dwellers and probably gonna do some water changes.

 

watching mom and dad fan the intake, feeding everyone and topping off water.

 

Cleaning filters and rearranging plants. New 10 gal finally cycled. YAH.

 

Shipped out some fish to NC.

Need to do a water change on both tanks since they haven't had one lately. I've been slacking.

 

Cleaning the tanks! Waiting for parts to build my 360! Oh what fun the summer brings!

 

segregating and selling my big angels.

 

WOW rick, What a tank!

 

is that a 360g acrylic or a 360 degree view tank? it looks smaller then my 210 is why I am asking,\

Looks great though, frag tank?

 

Finally got around to switching the Endler's and the Swordtails. I almost gave up because I couldn't find the normal intake grid for the C220 filter. I had to place the prefilter I had on it onto the HOB filter on the 10 gallon. Finally I found it, in a box that I had some fish stuff in so I wouldn't lose it. Go figure.

Now I'm hoping the Swordtails don't try to jump out of the tank since my versa top can't go on it with the HO T5 fixture that I have.

 

revamping a T8 fixture for a 10 gal.

Anthony do you have floating plants? That helps in my open top tanks.

 

I got some if he needs some.

 

Nothing that's really a "floating" plant but my L. Repens is so big is does come up to the top of the tank and is spread out a bit across the top of the surface. My light, even though a good 2-3" above the surface of the water, does cover most of the tank so that may help if the do try to jump. I'm hoping they don't though.

 

Lots and lots of feedings. Swordtails are being fed every few hours it seems.

 

cruising craigslist and making appointments to trade and sell/buy/freebie aquarium and pond stuff.

 

browsing a site I came across through CL <a class="postlink" href="http://www.tadege.com/onlinestore.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.tadege.com/onlinestore.htm</a>
(shrimp, snails, plants, & more)

 

PWC for the 210, halfway done only 1 hour left.

 

Feeding.

Moved a few pieces of Wisteria down to the 10 gallon tank. I'm hoping now that the tank is mature the sand will hold enough nutrients that the plants will grow.

 

I had nothing to do so I ended up pruning the L. Repens and Wisteria in the Swordtail tank (It's available in the Trading Post). After doing that I did a 50% water change. After adding the water I found a fry. I assumed it was an Endler fry I missed when relocating everyone but it looked a bit different so it may be a Swordtail. It's really odd that there's only one though, unless she's in the process of giving birth now. She is after all over 5 weeks pregnant. I throw the fry in the Endler tank so it wouldn't get eaten so we'll see if it's a Swordtail or and Endler in a few weeks of if I notice more fry I'll know it's a Swordtail.

 

did water changes and just watched the fish do their thing for a while.
