what are you doing today that is tank related?

probably poor quality stock, I have a lfs nearby that I've gotten bad african butterfly fish, plecos and corydoras from in the past. They are pretty much hit/miss...but the main fish store in the area.

Hopefully everything else in the tank is doing well and this was just one of those things.

 

Did a nice large water change today. Angels are looking much better than yesterday when they arrived.

 

fixin to drain the 20H and 75G down about 3/4 of the way, got the RO system all installed and ready to do some PWC's Tim the toolman Taylor aint got nothing on aquarist macgyverism.

 

partial on the 20gL, trimmed back the plants while I was at it too.
major partial on the 90g, got everything bleached and back in the tank (brush algae)...except the driftwood- it's still soaking.

 

Water change again today. Trying to keep up on them now that the Angels are in the tank and I'm feeding 2-3 times a day.

 

Added my single piece of mounted driftwood as I think I'll keep the big Double mounted one out for now...and a small piece which I stapled some excess java moss out of the 20gL.

Learned of plants that were ordered for me, so snapping a shot of the tank and figuring out placement for when they arrive (told it should be sometime early next week).

Pre-planning (well at least trying to) the breakdown of tanks and removal of furniture for future painting of the inside of my house in addition to recarpeting...gosh I really hope it won't be any time REALLY soon as that'll be a major undertaking. *heads throbbing at just the thought of it*

 

Making room for about 50 adult platies, and about 500 fry that are coming indoors for the winter.

 

water changes and filter maintenance. the 20g finished cycling the other day so we put our female greshakei in it. she was sharing a divided 10g with our red zebra/ob zebra fry (finally got a count of 14 fry) and their mother.

 

added 4 dwarf geo's and 3 giant sag plants to the 210
added guppy grass to the guppy tank(found white americans too)
added 2 GBR male adults and 1 EBR male adult to the 75

 

I'm doing water and filter changes. The normal stuff. I'm trying to figure out new decor. My tank is boring and understocked. You would think these would be easy decisions but its not. Does anybody else have a hard time deciding?

 

You don't even wanna know how many times I've rearranged stuff. LoL!

I'm simply feeding, pulling snails from the 20g and "gifting" them to the lone clown loach in the 90g *Evil Grin*

 

got 6 red flame apistos,6 bolivian rams, 2 black angel juves and a nice red melon sword for dawn(all he had on that list that was not duplicated but got atleast 1 to send ya with partial refund. I woulda gotten more but was unsure of substrate and lighting, I can always get more and drop ship them to you

 

Planting the aquarium plants that arrived just a bit ago...they look great (aquariumplants.com).
and
Realizing that I'm gonna have to put down my brillant turquoise discus due to hole in the head...I tried medicating which seemed to keep it at bay, but as of yesterday I noticed a small patch almost at the eye socket...and today it's doubled to tripled in size. Why is it always the pretty ones *sad*

 

Making room for:
3-Lamprologus Compressiceps Red Lufubu 2”-3.5”
4-Neolamprologus Leleupi 2.5”-4”
3-Cyprichromis Leptosoma Speckleback Jumbo 2.5”-3.5”
2-Neolamprologus Brichardi Dafodill 3”
2-Lamprologus Black Calvus 3”
3-Neolamprologus Tretocephalus 3”-3.5”
10-Cyprichromis Leptosoma sp. jumbo Cape Mpimbwe - Tri-color 2”-2.5”

 

75% water change today.

 

water changes and filter maintenance. moved some decor around in the 20g and 55g.

 

Nada at a "hillbilly" wedding today....LOL

 

Water change and some new plants that I am very excited about. I'm more excited about the store where they came from.

 

water changes and filter maintenance. bought a new heater for the 20g, tetra 100 watt subersible, didn't care much for the old heater (elite), it's like the one we had on a fry tank that malfuntioned and "cooked" 32 fry. the air pump on our 55g (elite 802 - dual port) wasn't pumping much air out one of the ports so i got a repair kit and fixed it, works like new.

Pocilia Gilli ( pair )
Ameca Splendens ( 3pr )
Goodea Gracilus ( pair + fry )
