Drumroll please...
Well my intentions were to cycle the tank for a while without fish. Unfortunatly I came home from buying supplies to find that the heater in my little tank (which due to other problems is cycling anyway) went out on me. The store didn't have another in stock so I my solution was to move everyone into the bing tank toinght. I added a filter from the other tank to help with my biology but I am sure I will have to do water changes daily or every other day for a while to keep my guys safe. Its all good, I am a stay-at-home-mom anyway.
I had to place the tank in my kitchen for lack of other available space, i have a feeling I will be doing more cooking in the near future! I still have no hoods so the top is open and I am using a hanging light for the fishies. Hopefully I will have hoods in a week or so.
I discovered something interesting... our whole house leans to the north. The north end of the house is about 1/2 an inch lower than the south side! Will this put undue strain on my tank?
I know the the tank is kinda bare right now. I have a large driftwood to ass but I am waiting on a pot large enough to boil it in.
I will but like 2 plants each payday (fake) till I have a nice fake lush area for my fishies to swim in, for now they have just a few areas to hide. I know the coarl and abalone may have to come out, but I love them in there!
I will add more pics later, but this tank is hard to photograph since my kitchen is so small.
