Scooped 3 buckets worth of sand and gravel out of the 220g.
What did you do with your tank(s) today?

- Start date
Getting ready to change over for the Tropheus?

One goldfish finished the job so I moved it to another tank lol. This tank (10) is currently unoccupied just growing some elodea and moss. Going to split my blonde Endlers and keep the white bodied magenta blondes that are popping up in that tank with very plain young blonde females. Going to try a "trick" to speed up the process a bit. Now that I understand the blonde genetics, gonna see for myself that the double recessive trick works then try it on a strain I have had a little trouble getting to breed true.
Duckweed disposal units in training lol

Yes, I am going to drill one end and add a sump too.

Drilled the 220g!!
@fishguy1978, looking good. I wish I would have had my 300 gallon (glass) drilled when I purchased it. Was trying to be frugal and decided to do the 3 FX6 filters instead. In the long run the sump set up would have been a cleaner look and easier to maintain. And at this point I would not replace or modify the big tank. Maybe if I ever redid the fishroom... I can dream, lol

Big holes lol Lexan looks like? I bought 1/2 and 1 in bits (saws?) awhile back for drilling vases / pots for planters. I'm too much of a wimp to even try them on broken pots lol So far at least.

3/8in glass. I’ve drill other tanks before and this one too. I added a bulkhead at the other end for the auto water change. I have a Eshopps Eclipes external overflow ordered.

I wasn't sure. Looked like glass but I thought I was seeing plastic dust buildup on the tape, not glass dust.
