What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

[Tetra1990]

50% water change on the 10 gallon. Topped off the 29. I have natural gravel in the 10 and its just dark and depressing. thinking of putting in sand.

Tried feeding my new fish. The platy ate but the guppy didn't realy.

Re-wired a hood from fluorescent tube to screw in cfl. Yay my 20L has light!


Ordered a ballast for one of my Coralife strips.


Got background material for the wall behind the new tanks. It's fake wood paneling, the tanks have been spray painted black on the back, so we wanted something to contrast other than ugly paneling.

fragged one of my corals and put the frags in empty spots to fill voids
fixed broken the power head
and rearranged a bit and glued things down so my clown don't move them again
glue lots and lots of glue I'm amazed I didn't glue my fingers together doing this

moved this one up to fill a big void and to give duster some company

Moved toad stool forward and added 2 frags one on lower left one on lower right

put shroom rock at the base of the rocks

moved Xiena a zoa's to the back

a paly frag I found floating and relocated shroom frag

added a pink lemon aid zoa to center of paly patch

just a couple of angle shots to catch all my hard work

I love how all the dusters blend in here

Also by doing what I did I made room for all the new frags and stuff I have coming I'll get more picts as it's added

hard to believe it looked like this 6 months ago

Water changes and sand vacs all around, slight rearranging in the African tank since they think its cool to collapse my structures worked on the plumbing on my 150g saltwater I'm building. Scraped silicone off the 150g I got off Craigslist for my Africans... For some reason the previous owner had "painted" gobs of silicone all over an around the top trim piece (said it leaked?!) and then fed everyone and tucked them in for the night

Water change on my 75 gallon African tank. Cleaned, broke down, cleaned impeller and reassembled my fx5, found babies in my canister, found one of my CAE in my AC110 all are alive.

More work on the 55g I picked up for free off Craigslist. Got it up and running now (need to update my thread...). Water is now clear, it was mud from the flourite for a couple days . Found some fish on sale at LFS I liked, so I added 2 Black kuhli loach, 1 peppered cory catfish, 2 scissortail rasbora. Also picked up 4 new plants, a rose sword, 2x green ozelot, and a red flame sword. Gave one of them to my roomie, kenbob. And finally buckled down and got to planting everything. Looks smexy so far!

Working on it Currently have 2 of them, they are pretty much inseparable
Also the rasboras are in a school of 9 total so they are nice and comfy swimming around in their big group.

That sucks sorry to hear. How many rams do you have?

Thanks. I had 2. My tank is looking empty already. Should I think about getting another ram?

 

[aaronjohn20]

Well first off, I would try and figure out why the first one died? Did you test your water parameters?

 

[eduguy]

I changed my 10 g tank water today. My platy was hit by the falling water from the bucket and got pushed to the bottom of my tank.

 

[Tetra1990]

Im sure it was bullied by the other ram. The size between the 2 was the only way I could tell them apart. The one that died was pretty small. Today is water change day. So I did a 50% change when I got home( normally it's a 25-30%pwc) it's a 29 gallon with 7 black skirts, 4 black khuli loaches, clown pleco and some ghost shrimp along with the other ram

 

[aaronjohn20]

Not sure about adding another then since its a bully. Maybe rearrange your decor and try and find another one close to the size of yours. Id be concerned about adding another one but that's just me because the bolivian rams around me run for $12.99 at the lfs. Gbr's are only $8.99. I figured they would be more but I guess I am wrong lol

Yeah, if I'd add a new ram, I'd search for one around the same size. Thanks.
