what are you doing today that is tank related?

uh oh, sorry to hear that. Can just imagine the slew of bad words that ensued.
----------------
Just feeding, feeding, and feeding some more. Also dusted off the glass canopys [icon_e_geek.gif]

 

just one in particular...over and over and over again...

 

Looking to add some Red Mangroves too my tanks

 

water changes & filter maintenance. took another juvie out of the fry tank and put it in the main tank.

that's a real bummer...sorry to hear that...if it were me i know that there would've been more than one "choice word" being said.

 

Getting ready to do water changes on both tanks.

 

making a powered gravel vac for the 210.

 

wc today.

 

Water changes on 55 ,95,110

 

set up a 10g free swimmer early grow out tank, 29g breeding BB tank, and cleaned the current grow out tank.

 

Felt a lil better earlier today (didn't last long though) and managed to do partials on the 90g & 20gL, also rinsed the prefilters/sponge filter, and scraped the inside of the glass clean with my tom tool.

 

Did a partial on the 45H and 10g new fry tank.


Contemplating setting up my 29g as a BB angel baby making tank.

 

traded and selled off some corals...the easy stuff

 

I just cleaned my fish tank today, vacuumed gravel, cleaned the algae off the glass etc, and added my weekly chemicals.
I was planning on buying a new fish today.

 

trying to figure out how/where to build a new stand for breeding operation.

 

from the diy's I've seen most do simple box frames?
But when I was thinking about going that route with the 90g, by the time I added up all the materials it was defin. cheaper to simply buy a stand (check your craigslist?)...but then again it was like $99 when I bought it at petsmart.
(no sawdust, no real cleanup besides breaking the box down and tossing the styrofoam inserts, no measuring, etc)

Gots this one (flat top allows just about any size tank to sit on it)--> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752311" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.j ... Id=2752311</a>

Ps. if you have an "Ollies Outlet" nearby you can try them in their furniture dept. ... I know mine carries/carried wooden 29g ones that even had drawers for under $30.00

 

HAH, why would I go and do a foolish thing like that? I try to give big box as little money as possible.

I only need 6 2x4's and already have 3/4" plywood, 2x4's by me are $1.79-@2.30 per 8 feet.
I did change my mind, I am going to set up the 29g, rehome my RES to a private pond(owner of pond is coming to get her) use her 40g breeder for the fry grow out tank. So I need to make a double stand not a single tank stand.
I need to make my own, I build my stands to match the wall and baseboard/trim in the room its in. I am selling my 45H AGA classic oak ensemble because its oak.

 

why not use the 40g breeder for the fishys (could divide as need be - like I did with the 90g)...and then use the 29g for fry?
Just a thought. I wish I had the patience (and lack of wood allergies) to still be able to build things

Gotta post some picts when your done, a diy thread woud help others I'm sure!

Tank related, plotting when I'ma sucker the hubby into cleaning the 2 canisters that are due for their monthly cleaning
Been run down, so not feeling it and hate when it goes past their 30day cleaning regime

 

water changes, filter maintenance, clean glass.

 

I set up 3 natural filters this week an adding some Red mangrove seedlings next week. All the fish are adjusting well.

 

50% on the 210, eheim clean out, magnum clean out.
