what are you doing today that is tank related?

[FishVixen]

revamping a T8 fixture for a 10 gal.

Anthony do you have floating plants? That helps in my open top tanks.

[WhiteDevil]

I got some if he needs some.

Anthony do you have floating plants? That helps in my open top tanks.

Nothing that's really a "floating" plant but my L. Repens is so big is does come up to the top of the tank and is spread out a bit across the top of the surface. My light, even though a good 2-3" above the surface of the water, does cover most of the tank so that may help if the do try to jump. I'm hoping they don't though.

Lots and lots of feedings. Swordtails are being fed every few hours it seems.

[WhiteDevil]

cruising craigslist and making appointments to trade and sell/buy/freebie aquarium and pond stuff.

[MOD_Dawn]

browsing a site I came across through CL http://www.tadege.com/onlinestore.htm
(shrimp, snails, plants, & more)

PWC for the 210, halfway done only 1 hour left.

Feeding.

Moved a few pieces of Wisteria down to the 10 gallon tank. I'm hoping now that the tank is mature the sand will hold enough nutrients that the plants will grow.

[Anthony]

I had nothing to do so I ended up pruning the L. Repens and Wisteria in the Swordtail tank (It's available in the Trading Post). After doing that I did a 50% water change. After adding the water I found a fry. I assumed it was an Endler fry I missed when relocating everyone but it looked a bit different so it may be a Swordtail. It's really odd that there's only one though, unless she's in the process of giving birth now. She is after all over 5 weeks pregnant. I throw the fry in the Endler tank so it wouldn't get eaten so we'll see if it's a Swordtail or and Endler in a few weeks of if I notice more fry I'll know it's a Swordtail.

did water changes and just watched the fish do their thing for a while.

[MOD_Dawn]

did a major pruning, a bit of a rearranging (90g) & clean the filters and did partials.

did partials on the 20L, pulled the carbon, cleaned the sponge filters & prefilters & added methy. blue for the eggs.

[FishVixen]

brought in some plants growing in a 40 gal tub outside and put them in the 20 and 10 gal. Have tons of plants out there growing in it. Mostly Java fern and floating plants.

[Anthony]

Lots to do today. I have to clean out the canister filter because I can't remember the last time I cleaned it. Clean the filter on the 10 gallon and do water changes on both tanks.

[MOD_Dawn]

not much, watching the babies happily swimming about in the 20L...feeding as usual...and finishing netting out the uneaten food in the 20L too.

I'm taking pictures of my baby angels. I started with 136, sold quite a few, but still have about 60 to go. New pics for craigslist.
