What did you do to your tank(s) today?

[ddavila06]

well what do you know, about 30 mins after i finished everything the mailman arrived with a box of co2 stuff =)
so i got to work:
added a splitter to my 10# tank and tossed a line to feed my 7.9 in the kitchen. then switched the diffuser i had in there and calibrated everything so that little to no fish would die!. fun day =)

im very happy with my order from aquacave.com btw, prompt shipments and fair prices!

Big feeding of red wigglers...

Aequidens metae and neets look like they're on eggs. Same with Leucistic honduran red points

Tore apart my 58 fully planted tank and caught the second pair of rainbows who were harassing the "good parents" who were trying to guard a swarm of wrigglers. Now I have to figure out how to do a really good gravel vac and replant without disturbing the little kiddies and their parents (their dad will attack my hand!)

The BBA in this tank is a nightmare, so it really n eed a heavy duty cleaning.

Meanwhile, the other pair is somewhat happily swimming around the 20 gallon and the boy is feeling friiiisssskkyyyy

Stared at the 75g today for an hour. Decided to trim/move some plants, found little balls of BBA floating around the substrate, got pissed off and left the room! Now sipping on some Pinnicle whipped, thinking of that BBA...grrrrr.....

Spent a looooooong time catching 2 tanks of shrimp. The inverted bottle takes too long when you have a lot of other things to do. Except most of the other stuff hinged on removal and transfer of the shrimp.

Pull two tanks of plants and then transferred all the amano dirt to the 100. What a mess.

Fed most of the fish and then sat in front of the 120 rescaping in my head with the cat on my lap.

Got fed up and watched Bride Maids. Tuckered out.

I dip the plants and driftwood in an Excel solution. I also have to do that with the equpiment, too, and clean all the glass. And clean the crap out of the substrate. And replant everything soaking in several buckets right now.

Did water change on the 10, 20, one of the 75s.

 

[killakacti]

Water changes in the 110 and 75. Decorated the wifes 90 with a bunch of plastic plants and a nice rock we scored @ skools of fish this weekend.

 

[Pat Kelly]

Changed water on 6-55's, 6-29's, 3-10's, 2-40 breeders.

 

[rsretep]

trimmed some BBA out of a 40 breeder and removed a female Lepiolamprologus Hecqui Mbita to a breeder net with her (what looks like about ten fry) all in their shell....skimmed some duck weed from said 40 breeder and put it in a 20 long that houses geophagus steindachneri (juvies) archocentrus cutteri (juvies) metriaclima cyneusmarginatus (juvies) and julidochromis dickfeldi (juvies) they eat the stuff.....

Did water change on 3 tanks. I will do the other 5 that are in the basement tomorrow. I pump my water out through the window and onto the lawn and the bushes. It's getting cold and this weekend will be the last time I pump it outside and will be just pumping it down the drain.

 

[ddavila06]

went to pvas meeting today. whomever didnt come missed it big time!!
came home to set up new 5 gallon tank for fry, too bad the fry already hatched and are nearly impossible to find next to mom in the 36.......
fed bloodworms around that i got from group order, my first time! fish were happy.
after that did water changes to the 75 and the 36...im tired now...

Spent weeks researching and ordering the parts. Then more weeks to put the whole thing together. Oops, then a few more weeks to reorder the correct part. Finally, got it put up in the fishroom. It is not finished until I leak test the entire thing.

Tell us more about your project, Albert. What are the two filters and the probes?

The LRH corner is the low temp mixing valve where the hot and cold water enter. There is a pressure gauge as well as a temperature gauge on the right side. The probes are TDS probe for before and after the filters (a micron pre-filter and a carbon block filter). To the left of the filter housing is a water flow meter. The whole thing is to get the water coming out of tap at the desired temperature and filtered before entering the water barrel. The plastic container has a lid that I can fit over it. I mounted the whole thing over the sink and above the floor drain in the event that if a leak has developed it would drain into the proper place rather than spraying all over the room.

Over the weekend, I began the tedious process of replacing the 65g in our kitchen with the 110g in the basement and turning it into an all-male hap and peacock tank. Started by setting up our previously empty 90g (and discovering in the process that my 2217 has a leak, grrr! Thankfully I had an AC110 sitting around) and transferring all the fish from the 110g that we'll be keeping into that (netting fish out of that super deep 110g is a royal PITA!).

Funny thing is, once I was done with that and refilled the 110g, the alpha male Hap. sp. 35 "Tomato" colored up brilliantly and started a spawning dance with one of the females. Came back half an hour later and the female is obviously holding. I'll post a "For Sale" thread in the next day or two, but those fish will be for sale, along with a bunch of other stuff.

...a few water changes...and got some new Cubayo siquia convicts from Jon Clark...

Babies of neets and leucistic HRPs are doing great.

Ich treatment finally finished today on A. Baenchi growouts. When I get temp back down in next day or so, will transfer to a 20L so they have more breathing room.

Finished a proposal on how to fill a poor, lonely 40 gal tank at my daughters childcare place. Non-cichlid most likely, less some of you have some ideas for colorful, looooooooow maintenance cichlids for a possibly planted (though doesnt have to be) tank that needs to have a colored inert gravel substrate (yuck)

Looking at my corner of the basement trying to figure out how to fit some more tanks in an unobtrusive manner... I'm getting the itch again... Rainbows? Kribs? Shellies? another Apisto? Just dont know where to go.
