    trying to figure out what to thin outta the 90g inhabitant wise (know it needs done, but have been procrastinating)

    figuring out what to do with the 20L as I'm not thrilled with the inhabitants in there (more than likely plan to sell everyone off in there and start a-new)...The kiddo wants to turn it into a ninja shrimp house :)

    Moved 60 red platies out to a 300g tub...While they were in the bag floating, fry were being born, left, right, and center.

    late last night ended up doing partials on the 90g (was a couple days behind with everyone taking turns at the hospital for some horrid viral thing going around) and also on the 20g (substrate was/is a nightmare..shoulda researched it to find out it was clay based).
    *vows to never do another clay based substrate*

    no, it's blasted Seachem Flourite Black Sand.
    Tahitian Moon isn't clay based *kicks herself for letting the kiddo grab the other stuff*
    Took 2 days for the water to clear WITH pre-rinsing, clarity and a massive partial. And everytime you get anywhere near or muck with the water (as in partials) it goes all murky and mudlike.

    <--will never recommend this substrate to anyone - Seachem Flourite Black Sand, not recommended.

    90g:
    trimmed away 60% of my plants due to brush algae and am soo getting close to giving up on live plants.
    *stomps feet and professes to absolutely HATE algae*

    Cleaned the xp4 filter on the right to add some Seachem Phosgaurd and Seachem de*nitrate (figuring I had it and couldn't find any harm in tossing the de*nitrate in even though the filter is higher than the recommended gph).

    20g:
    added plants

    Just got done swapping out the 20L substrate (pulled the seachem black flourite sand and replaced it with CaribSea Super Naturals Tahitian Moon sand)...and then prefiltering the eheim 2236 with a Zoo Med 501 prefilter.
    Still in the "rinse" bucket is the mineral stone & cholla logs that will be going back into this tank...pulling the flourite made them a muddy mess.

    Next plan will be to find something to "corral" the floating plants to the left side of the tank...thinking probably a feeder station or simply making a rectangle shape frame from pvc tube.
