The Sixty Gallon Build :)

Found a place that does exchanges for like 20 bucks total, seems pretty average right? How long did a tank last you?

Thanks! They are cool but I haven't seen them in days, hopefully they will begin to come out

a 5 lbs tank should last about 6 months, maybe longer.

Little update- , algae is getting worse lol. Its fine. I just need to get my co2 setup sometime soon. Ruby is going back to her home, um I'm hoping Sunday. I'm a little worried to do so, but I think it will be okay

No, I ran out lol

 

[skywhitney]

No, I ran out lol

lol i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that that could be a contributing factor as to the new algae outbreak as well.

Yeah, I know lol. I'm fine with it now that I'm getting the co2 system relatively soon. I'll just scrub off what I can. I've been turning the rocks upside down when they get covered with green algae. So the algae on the bottom dies and I could flip it again lol

That's a good idea! How are all the fish doing? Is Ruby going back today?

Yep, I hope to get her back if I have time. If not, probably Friday. Everyone else is doing really well, so its all good

The new loaches are coming out more and they bite my hand when its in the tank, its like a sharp pinch lol

 

[George9]

It almost sounds like she's being picked on to me. Have you noticed anything like that?
