    I'm in no hurry...it's not like the tanks going anywhere.
    hit me up when you get some...the current guy I get mine off of is sick and I think he'll be getting outta the hobby due to health reasons
    ----
    being I can't sleep I think I'll muster up the energy to do the canisters...yes at 2am :)

    I am trying to clean my fish tank today. The great part is I have to
    Protect my fishes from my pet. So thinking of a way to perform that.

    ? protect fishes from pet while cleaning the tank?

    ----------
    Did a partial on the 90g
    Just finished cleaning both the xp4's and reconnecting them
    Ordered Prime from ablackhorse.com 2Liters shipped =Total: $44.34

    >making a mental note that I still need to do the 20L and another one reminding me to wipe the stealth heater that's in the fry section of the 90g :)

    ...My spotted Cory's seem like they wanna spawn.... Or the males do, the female seems like she just wants to left alone XD
    Turned off the lights. Hope for eggs =3

    Can Bronze Cory and spotted cory hybrid? I've got nothing but female bronze and only one female spotted. Just wondering?

    Went on a plant search. First to Petco, then Fin and Feather @ Lakeside and then found the Fin & Feather in Ashland. F&F at Ashland was small but everything was really healthy looking. Think I am going to have to order to find the plants I need for low light. No much luck with the local stores.

    try aquabid
    bayleesfishees cory is who I got my last few through, simply gorgeous plants! Highly recommend ;)
    Dealt with Mikeswetpets (website, aquabid, ebay) before too and his stuff was nice (but this was probably a year ago).

    Introduced the new Clown Pleco, dropped the tank temp down from 86 to 75 and dropped in a half dose of ich treatment just to be on the safe side.

    Noticed some eggs on the glass. Def. My Cory's doing.
    All of them were white, so I assume they are dead?

    If they're one color, yes I believe they are infertile.

    Just feeding today. Fish are finally beginning to act normal again after treating the Plecos for ich and the ammonia spike from their extra waste.

    yup, the eggs should be transparentish... white usually means infertile or fungus.

    Procrastinating about doing the 20L partial cuz I'm hoping to bath the other 3 pooches.

    50% partial on the 20L, rinsed the prefilters, and cleaned the inside tank glass with my tom oscar tool using the razor like attachment.

    20% partial on the 90g baby section

    Follow up to earlier...I was able to find some nice plants online and they are settling in nicely. Still need to find some more background ones though.

    So far today....
    partial on both the 35 and 10 gal. Installed a shelf into my tank stand so I can stop losing all the bottles and move the air pump underneath the tank. Ran by Petsmart and Petco to look around/plan for when the big tank is done cycling.

    Researching better lighting. Few lights on sale at Drs F&S but man it is still expensive to upgrade. Little overwhelmed with that whole situation right now.

    Also looking at the little CO2 system they have online. Petsmart had something similar in the store but it would only do a 20 gal tank. http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/P ... atid=14711

    I've seen them. They look the same, just a green coloration.
