Fed all fish in the 46g bf, 20g, and 10g. Added a gold ram and 5 ghost shrimp to my 46g bf community tank. My lfs had a sale going on. Any fish under $10 was half off so my ram only cost $4. I was an hr late on getting another gbr cause someone come in and bought all 5 of them. O, and one of the ghost shrimps was berried with eggs. 2 of the shrimps were eatin within 2 minutes by one of my angels.

Fed everyone and I'll probably do some water changes later once I get the sink cleared of dishes. I feel like I'm coming down with something so I'd rather get everything done early before I get too sick to feel like moving.
Lots water changes...
Did a 3 gallon water change on a fry tank (10 gallon)
Did a almost 100 water change on a 20 high to get rid of Clout in the tank
Did a 12-13 gallon water change on the 29 gallon.
Scrubbed out my filter looks like algae was trying to grow there!

- Added 2 albino cories to the 29, temporarily waiting on the 20 high to cycle.They were on sale Petsmart
- Got a few molly fry for free for the fry tank, threw them in with the Guppy Fry
- Received one mystery cory as a special prize. He was the last one in the tank and the new girl gave him to me for 1.74.

Just did another 50% water change on my 75 gallon mixed African Cichlid tank. I was bored and figured it can't hurt.

I am putting a glass top on my 20 gallon because i had a fish jump the other day. I am also going to be dosing the chemiclean that I purchase as well because I have a cyano breakout and I have tries everything I could. I cut light back. I vacuumed the tank. I lessened food but it still comes back. I am hoping this works.
Did a 50% clean on my bettas tank, while moving his new driftwood I found 3inch pink worm! My betta tried too eat it yuck! I netted it out haven't a clue what it was. Then while checking my 55 I noticed my pearl had a hair hanging out his mouth so I had to net him to take it out, I wonder what I,ll find in my tanks tomorrow?

Today I have test water parameters on my 55g that I am currently in the days of confirming that I am cycled...yeahhh....so far results are confirming that I am. I also drained a little bit of water from it so I could add my DW centerpiece (finally). On my 40B, I am fish-less cycling so I test ammo and it is still @ 2.0 and has been for 5 days now.
I turned the lights lights on about 25 minutes ago. Watched as water evaporated. Ran a visual check of the entire tank. Checked the temperature. Work needs to be done, but not today. I have to work in 2 hours and was going to do everything tomorrow.
Here's a list:
Water Change and top off
Remove dead leaves
Trim last emersed leaves from plants
Mourn loss of Assassin snail
Clean front glass
Remove a few algae streaks from last cleaning
Remove and clean glass tops

Change my tanks around. I am adding sand instead of gravel and I want to put my peacock ciclids in with my 2big tinfoils
Saturday:
Test the 29 gal, apparently I am in mini cycle. Don't know why Did a 17 gallon water change on accident. I got distracted.
Did a 75% on the 20 high, looking a little yuck. Added a nice piece mature of filter media to get the party started.
Sunday:
Woke up to a dead fish in 20 high. Returned fish, did another 50% PWC on the 20 high, added a filter squeezing of about 3 good cups of filter umm milk from mature tank.
Did a 3 gallon change on the 29, needed water from that for my fry tank.
Did a 4ish gallon water change on the 10 gallon fry.
Dropped an air stone in and added a heater to 10 gallon as well.
Platy dropped her fry only have one survivor. pretty color though.
Anyone have any good directions on how to make a sponge filter? I have filter pad, air stone, check valve. No tubing lying around though.
