what are you doing today that is tank related?

sounds nice!

Did a last second bid on an aquabid auction and unexpectedly won it, looks like the 20g may be back in action...but now for the tough part..getting someone ELSE to do the weekly partials on it!

 

I'll be worrying all day because I noticed my Jack Dempsey seemed to not be feeling too well this morning, he wouldn't eat - and he eats EVERYTHING with gusto, no kidding, I could drop a cocktail napkin in the tank and he'd eat it...this morning he just ignored his morning cricket snack and kept hiding. I had no time for a water change, had to get to work. Fingers crossed all day...if this guy dies, my 12 year old will be inconsolable.

Needless to say I'll be doing a big water change ASAP when I get home tonight, and keeping my eye on him.

 

Finally got around to doing a water change.

Also looking through some boxes for a filter.

 

PWC on the 210, did PWC on the 52 last night.

 

installing a new heater into the 20L and getting the temp to where I want it.

 

went and picked up the new 150g, waiting on some help to get it out of the van and into the house so we can get it cleaned up and the back painted. my wife also got some new fake plants to go in it.

 

that's gonna be fun getting it inside (not).
just feeding, putting the water changes off for a few days...prolly like tuesday.

 

it wasn't fun, but we did get the tank in the house. after three days of rain (about 5 inches worth) and between thursday night and friday morning we got about 2 inches of snow on top of the rain so the path from the driveway to the house (no sidewalk yet) is a sloppy mess. it took 4 of us to do the task. got it cleaned up a bit and the first coat of paint on the back.

 

glad to hear it made it from point a to point b in 1 place, what color you doing the back?

<--will be topping off water on the 90g in a few.

 

nautical blue is the color we went with.

 

sounds nice buzz, wondering if it'll be like the marina blue I have on the 20g.
anxious to see pictures!

<trying to find something that these angels will eat, procrastinating about doing partials on the 90g, and waiting to hear from the lfs BEFORE I restock on my frozen bloodworms since I'm finally out.

 

got the 150g finished up, tore down the 125g and put it in the spare room, put the 150g on the stand, put gravel and decor in, fill with water, then the Fish.

 

water change and filter maintence on the 55g and 10g.

 

simply feeding the fishys.

 

I'll be dealing with a small outbreak of brown algae, trying to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.

 

partials were done this morning on the 90g, waiting on the 20gL since it was just recently setup (I figure it'll get done next week with the 90g).

Beyond that, simply feeding.

 

another Gourami bloated up on me.....treating with antibiotics and just gave him an Epsom bath. A watched fish never poops.

 

getting ready to go a serious tank cleaning and water change......lost all 3 of my Gouramis within 2 week period for an undiagnosed reason.

 

tested the water in the 150g, ammonia - .25 nitrite - .25 nitrate - around 15, looks like it's going thru a mini cycle. readings aren't as bad as i thought they would be. still not bad for a complete tank change over (switched out the 125g for a 150g).
did water change and filter maintenance on the 55g & 10g.

 

PWC on the 210, added some plants, ended the day with discus spawn.
