Bought from tissue cultures
What did you do with your tank(s) today?
- Thread starter DMD123
- Start date
I went to Bonny Lake and picked up a glass lid for the 20L and then cut the top to fit filter and heater cord. Had to run a new cord to the tank that had extra outlets for the new tank. I had some old battery backup from my last job that I’m going to use for the filters. I still need to rinse gravel, fill the tank and set the heater....Edit, got it done!

Nice! Looks like it fits a lot better too... I really like that background! You can squeeze/rinse some filter media into the tank from one of your established tanks. Instant cycle!
lol, that was never the plan for a tank there. It was supposed to be a cabinet with a countertop there. and some cabinets up above for storage. The eventual plan is a diy rack on the other side of the garage that holds multiple tanks.I love that sink next to the tanks. I've got a similar setup! Makes water changes a breeze

MTS strikes anywhere hahaha
Not really tank related but I did contact Imperial Tropicals about some fish and was super impressed with their communication. Fast response to questions and I felt very honest answers. Im not sure if I have space to raise out the fish I want to order but I do like them as a company.
Salt creep... lots of fun, lol
I did some tank cleaning in the 300g. I spent time on the back quarter of the tank, scrubbing down the large mopani, cleaning algae off plastic plants and cleaning the glass. With an 8 foot tank I find keeping it clean involves dividing it into quarters and focus on one section each time I clean. Basically the paint the bridge scenario, where you start at one end and once you finish painting you go back to the beginning and start again, lol. This is my one big regret with the big tank its 8 ft and its 30” deep. Total pain to clean, but love the look of a show tank.

Not a huge thing but fed the fish, lol. A bit of a milestone in that the Hoga ate! I am totally thrilled that the smallest one did not allow itself to get chased during feeding. It stood its ground and ate. The middle one backed down and ran when the dominant one went at it. At least now I see some potential in these guys. The underdog is turning into my favorite!

progress!!
Yep, they are settled in enough to finally eat. I fed a little this morning before work and they ate again. I do a mix of foods and the preference is Dainichi XL Pro. After the prolapse issue with my Pearsei, I am going to take care in feeding and not let them be gluttons. I will likely feed a NLS, Dainichi mix of food.
Thats nuts! lol, bad pun
Not necessarily a do with tank thing... but thinking about changing out my avatar. My Porkchop has been gone for a month now and maybe I should move on. I have bichir or puffer pics I could use.
Edit: Did the change to a puffer pic. This is my hairy puff which looks like an old man, lol

I was privileged with getting to see #whatthebloody’s low tech setups today when I picked up the plants he gave me. Really cool.
