Big update!
We made it! We are now moved into our new apartment.
We got here Wednesday and immediately put Corey's tank up since he had living beings. Everyone has made it thus far.
Today we got around to putting my tank up.
I added 2 rocks to the front of the scape, and a bunch of small pieces in the back, since rock was clearly sparse in this tank. Everything is officially set up: put in the heater and thermometer, added the rock rubble to the AC, added rock to the display, running the fixed AC, got a piece of LR from Corey's tank and dosed ammo to 3 ppm.
Everything's kind of ugly right now: water's cloudy, rock dust everywhere, big ugly LR piece sitting out front, but if ya'll want pics I'll post 'em.
Also, I found a cheap ATO method. I'd heard on other forums of people using hamster water bottles as ATO, but one person decided to use the "Aqua Globes" plant waterers. I thought that was a fantastic idea, much prettier than a hamster bottle, so I picked up some mini aqua globes at the store. I'll have to rig up something to hold it in place.
That's all for now!
