what are you doing today that is tank related?

watching the female dwarf orange mexican crayfish rotate her eggs..so cool!

and just finished the 90g & exhausted.

 

I love those Dawn, I had a pair but the little boogers climbed out of the TEENIEST little hole

 

Well if your looking for more hit me up because I'm assuming it won't take long for these eggs she's jumbling py using her pinchers to pull her tail fin to hatch (read they have live babies). Two are more than enough in the 20 in my opinion and I'm sure they'll be snacked on if they are put in the 90g.

I have the 20g sealed TIGHTLY. Full 1 piece canopy and duct tape around the opening where the filter and heater come through. I had some plastic left over from an old glass canopy that broke, ya know the back strip thingy...I simply cut it to fit the openings and taped away- I LOVE duct tape. haha!

--->Simply adding some water to the 90g being when I hooked up the 1 rena it drew in quite a bit of water as normal and I was too tired to replace what it drew in from the main tank last night/early this morning.
And also trying to sell off the clown loaches to "destock" the 90g a bit (hopefully the person who contacted me regarding them will show up sooner, rather than later).

Will be getting to the 20g for a partial today. SOO Many baby plecos and various shrimplets in there

 

Cleaned the 20gL, stuck a breeder net in there for when I net the preggo female cray (yes, I know she'll probably climb out but being I had one handy I figured I'd give it a whirl before she releases a ton of minions.

Gave the eheim ecco a rinsing out due to low flow, and then realized why...I forgot I loaded it with media to keep the flow from stirring the whole tank. Lol! Yea, it's one of those days.

Made my order through petmountain (used bigcrumbs) for my replacement xp quick disconnect to replace the broken one, grabbed two of the spongebob pineapple houses just cuz they are so darn cute, and the purigen was a really good deal. Wish I had the cash for the 2 Liter, but 1 Liter will get my by considering it can be regenerated.

 

water changes and filter maintenance.

 

trying to get snails and planaria out of the 20gL. Ugh!

 

Water change on the tank while cleaning the substrate.

My tank is snail free thanks to my loaches. I noticed I have some in my canister filter but I'm not worried about them. Figured as long as I can't see them they're fine.

 

jealous, as I have the loaches in the 90g..but with shrimp there's not really anything I can think of that I can safely stick in there to eat the boogers. Ugh!

Simply keeping an eye on the discus...I noticed a teeny tiny 4th hole on the opposite side

 

as soon as teen mom goes over I'll be doing a 50% partial and redosing the tank with Metro+

 

I dunno, contemplating making a 36" tall sword into a 12" clay pot for my kids new tank(gonna teach him some intense responsibility) MAYBE thin out my 75g then again I just got a new pup so who knows what Ill be able to concentrate on.

 

awe. congrats on the new pup.

I'm about to swap out another 50% of the water from the 90g and dose with the final day of Metro+.
No improvement to report as of yet.

 

water changes and filter maintenance.

 

Did a 25-30% partial on the 90g, threw the new emperor 400 on the back with some Seachem carbon to make sure I got all the Metro+ out, Rena Part came in so got the other xp4 up and running, and the spongebob pineapple houses came in (got them cheap) which were supposed to be for the 20gL- they were a bit big so I ended up tossing them in the 90g figuring the loaches would like it.

Pulled the Clown Loaches, 1 remaning LF Serpae Minor, and about 10 of the bristlenose babies to sell off later today.

 

Making room for 22 adult Golden Kazumba Tropheus, 7 cyprichromis kekese and a few other adult tangs. I think it's time to buy another tank or two facepalm

 

water changes and filter maintenance.

our little red zebra is holding again so we were able to net her carefully and placed her in the 10g, she should releasing them sometime this week. this will be her 2nd brood, the first one was a surprise to us and only one of the fry has survived in the main tank so far (it hides really good).

a couple of years ago we gave my wife's sister a complete 20h set up, well she has lost interest in it and all of the fish has died so she is giving it all back to us as soon has she gets it tore down. isn't m.t.s. great ??

 

Oh nice buzz! Nothing like an extra tank that's free...especially when you actually have room for it.
I hate to say it, but I'm loving the 20L almost more than the 90g...I know, I know bigger is better with more options, but my so-called kiddo's tank is doing great and nos issues at all with the plants. Just a snail issue which I'm squishing my way through so to speak. haha!

I'm just feeding and squishing, looks like the male Albino Bristlenose is prepping a log for a possible breeding. Hoping that lone clown loach that I missed doesn't muck with it.

 

finding a spot to put a 20g will be alot easier than finding a spot to put another 6ft tank (125g) once we get it repaired and stand built.

 

took down the eheim off the 210, replumbed a manifold for the UV light and Co2.
5 hours later the eheim is sitting dry, going to put it on the 52FBH african set up.

 

Setting up a 100 gal divided and moving around fish so I can empty a couple of 20 longs. Fixing to house a few breeding groups of plecos and bns. L 129, L180, green dragons, L 333 and panaque maccus. carrot carrot

 

Need to do a water change on my tank. Just got home from work so I'm gathering the energy.
