Updateee
Just an FYI for everyone, I'm kinda at a stand-still on my tank right now.
I found a website that sells the fish I want, but they're currently out of stock. And since I'll have to quarantine them for a month anyway, I'll just cycle my quarantine tank in the meantime THEN when they come back in stock I'll cycle my Edge while they're quarantining.
Not a whole lot I can do until then. I was thinking about doing planted, it's kind of scary, never having considered it before. It's a pretty steep learning curve.. So I'm just throwing that idea around.
What will probably end up happening is, if I end up choosing to go planted, I'll do that when we move at the beginning of June, since I'll have to apparently have to throw my sand out anyway? I'll then make it a dedicated setup. Good plant substrate, maybe tabs, dosing Excel and Trace?, definitely modding the lighting more. I don't really know a whole lot yet, so thats all pretty much just words, lol.
Regardless of anyyy of that junk, senior year is pretty busy, even after toning down my schedule. The crazy tank stuff will happen over summer when we move and i'll have to re-do the tank, ha.
Just figured I'd let everybody know whats up.
OH! I remembered something!
-I'm getting a Hydor Mini Heater that can go under substrate. I'm putting it behind the filter so no heater for an eye-sore.
-I'm doing a mylar balloon "mod" on the inside of the hood. It helps reflect light, but mainly I'm doing it because I recently heard that the metal grill of the hood WILL rust, so that should help?
-And I forgot to coat my LEDs to prevent water damage, so I'll be doing that.
-I got a new standdd!! It's soooo pretty. The edge isn't on it now, but when we move it will be.
That's all everybody. Thanks for reading. Hopefully I'll be updating soon?
