10g water change(prime dechlorinator) with gravel vac
added a slate rock formation that I built using silicone

hung new AC 50 on back of tank to prep it to place in my 20g that will be up and running next week

Sounds good, post those test results, lol!

Any pics of your slate caves? They sound awesome. I've never actually made caves with silicone before- my rocks are way too heavy in my 55 cichlid tank.
