It's graduation day tomorrow, from nearly 6 weeks in a 4g fry tank to a 20g tank in my daughters room and she's so excited . I wonder if I can get her to be more involved and actually want to do some of the upkeep as she watches them grow from her bed? Probably not lol.
Got the tank cleaned (bleach solution) and flushed a 1/2 dozen times, my $5 stand got a good dusting/cleaning and heavy coat of Liquid Gold and it really shines now .
Got a really good deal on some black/blue aquarium background, so I tried the SeaView sealer for the first time and it came out pretty good. We'll see just how good it looks tomorrow evening when the tank is filled and the fishies are checking out their new home. The SeaView worked as advertized, but 1 bottle at $4.99 barely got this 20g done so it is an expensive proposition. I think I'll look for an alternative when I'm ready to put a background on our 37g & 29g.
My standard substrate of peat moss with a Laterite coating on it and 2" of PFS as a cap worked great once again. Gonna let it set overnight and settle and tomorrow the decco and plants go in and since it's going to be an instant cycled tank the young ones get to spread their fins by tomorrow evening.
My daughter wanted to get a pic of me doing the plate trick as I filled up the bottom 1/2 of the tank, so I told her I'd make sure it was in my first post .
