Hi actually did all this yesterday:lol: A 120 litre water change on my six footer plus cleaned the external filter for the first time. I also added six Columbian tetra's and a small plec. I also added some new plants thanks to my brother in law,and can you believe they have grown nearly 2cms in one day:eek: Also done a 90 litre water change on my other tank:)
 
I just change the substrate on a "new to me" 75g. I used black diamond sand blasting sand. 100 lbs for 18 bucks!!

Still abit cloudy but you get the idea.

I will have to look into that! I was planning to do soil with a sand cap but hasn't decided on sand yet, was leaning towards pool filter or play sand, but this could definitely work!

Lookin good! Is the sand sharp at all, isn't it coal slag ground up into sand particles? I am going to be picking up Garnet sand from a sandblasting supply company when I have time to go 1 hour each way in a direction I don't usually go very often!

pwc on three Betta tanks and topped off the rest.

Does anyone else here have problems with their Hornwort melting? Sometimes it seems great then there is a melt down. idnk why... AAArrrgh!

Shopping for necessities for my new Orange Eye Blue Tiger's arrival in a couple days!!! Scared and excited all at the same time.
 
Today I tested my water( all good) and gave my fish some bloodworms as a treat. Then stared at my tank for about 45 minutes, watching my new clown loach "get rude" with my Oto cats and act the clown.

Maybe you will find something even better than you thought possible, I did with my 72G. I thought I would be upgrading with a 46G bowfront and for the same $ I got a 72G like new! And after I had been frustrated for several months since every single one of the tanks I found and called on had already been sold.

This isn't with my tank, but I did an educational demonstration presentation today over water changes for my public speaking class. It felt good to try and educate the public about why PWCs are so important.

My boyfriend wants to know how your fish room is so organized and your cords are so well hidden. Lol.

you just don't see all the junk on the other side of the room

I used a piece of tank back ground black side out on the wall and tacked it over all the wires to hide them behind the tanks
but in reality I have more wires than I know what to do with lol there just all combined into 1 BIG pvc pipe painted black running along the floor to the outlets
