What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

[The Trooper]

Yesterday i finished laying out the decor of my new tank, waiting on cansiter filter arriving.

 

[Nimo]

I refurbished a 30 gallon long tank and stand. Its not up and running yet but I plan to make a frag tank out of it.
I bought a second hand 110 gal. That has everything from sump/refuge phosphate reactor protein skimmer to LED lights in the canopy. Its a real nice set up.

Last night I got a pair if scarlet badis for my 5.5, some habrosus corys for moms 10, and a few more RCS. I have to say, I am in love with my badis. Such a cool fish.

I had to google the scarlet badis. Very cool!

 

[cmwalters]

They are so cool. They have such an interesting personality; they are very deliberate with their movements and they seem so smart.

 

[Nimo]

Just got done plumbing a 110 gal. Now on the way to LFS to get reef crystals and some other supplies so I can fill it up.

My uncle gave me 2 10gs and a 20 long today! probably gonna use the 20g for clownfish pair, 1 of the 10s for a guppy breeding tank, and the 2nd 10 as a breeding tank for some apistos or rams. First before anything happends i gotta get my mom to agree to do it, hope it works out!

 

[Fishman007]

actually gonna keep some cili rasboras and scarlet badis with some RCS in one of the 10s instead of the guppy breeding tank.

 

[Fishman007]

Turns out he has 2 20 longs and the 10g, probably gonna do a convict pair in the extra 20, what do you guys think? Should i do a lake tank with the 2nd 20? Some frogs, newts, and white clouds? Would like to here you guys opinion!

What type of canister filter? Have it on my 37g reef and never found out what it was...

 

[The Trooper]

All pond solutions (UK & Europe) and i believe it's sold as Sunsun on that side of the pond?

[Krissycakes]

Just bought 3 more tanks. When will it end. Lol Feed frozen brine shrimp to the pals. And ran the lights for 7 hours. All is well. Except 3 of the albino cories I got as a bday gift, have passed away.

Lowering temperature on my quarantine tank after doing 10 days of heat treatment for ich on my new black widow tetra and peppered corys.

White spot stopped showing after second day and fish showed no sign if stress at any point.

Highly recommended this method of treatment. But it's SUCH a relief to be able to return the temperature to normal.

 

[Masha]

Wait - forgot.
Am planning to put some of my plants in pots, with pottingsoil capped in gravel. I don't like the look of the pots so I attacked them with pliers and filed down the sharp edges. Terracotta is really soft!

That's really neat, is it getting pushed down into your gravel or just sitting at the back?

I want to bury it into the gravel as much as I can, but the gravel isn't deep enough to completely bury it. Probably will get placed as deep in as I can, and near the back.

 

[Alan79]

Thats a good idea with filing down the pots Masha.

Morning- Small feed for both tanks before work.

Afternoon- Larger feed then a 50% water change on 2 x 20G.

Trimmed back both tanks which had some really long Ludwigia stems and replanted them to make some fairly dense stands. This is such an easy plant to grow. I did the same with my Cabomba but it isn't growing quite as wildly. I also scrubbed some algae off leaves.

During the scrubbing i found three bunches of snail eggs which i assume are from the Ramshorns i bought on Friday. I should have a large population soon if they lay eggs in these kinds of numbers.
