Popular Post Danny 45 Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 Today, and yesterday, I painted one of my walls black, got new dressers for the aquariums, and got a new desk. First, I had to get rid of the old cabinets and move the tanks somewhere else temporarily. After that I painted the wall, put the new dressers and desk together, and put the tanks on the new dressers. And lastly, I put all my stuff in the drawers. 30 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members Lizzie Block 9 Posted July 13, 2020 Members Share Posted July 13, 2020 Started going through ALL of my aquarium stuff with Jimmy for the big move from PA/Ohio to Washington! ... Yes I am bringing boxes of sticks, rocks and soil all the way across the country... No, I am not a crazy person-- just an aquascaper 😜 Boxes to keep and boxes to donate, gotta keep it balanced haha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 4,074 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 When I started the day I didn't have the intention of setting up another tank...but I needed a place move a pair of Apistogramma nijsseni to. I watched Cory's "Getting Started with Aquascaping" live stream where he mentioned learning from making mistakes and just trying a bunch of things. So I decided to move the apistos into a tank that I would aquascape with marsh plants growing in a soggy spot on the edge of my driveway. Sounds crazy, but I am happy with the results so far (tank has been set up for about 4 hours now). I dug up 2 chunks of boggy sod, added sand from my creek, and an old piece of wood that was last in an aquarium about 10 years ago (it has living abandoned in the woods for the last 10 years). It took about 15 minutes to get it setup. But it took another 5 hours to fill it because I trickle filled it with a piece of airline tubing with water from my big living room tank. We will see how it works out, but so far the apistos seem to like it. 14 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelley 15 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I put some drift wood in my pond to soak. It will go into my new 90 gallon! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elquinjena 14 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It was a cleaning day after I got home from work. Took off the over the tank filter ( which pulls water up through a under gravel filter), took sponge filter, and some decorations out and gave them all a cleaning. I am fighting BBA and after doing some research decided to try using hydrogen peroxide on the decorations and a couple of plants. Also took some algae off my front an back glass with an algae scrubber I picked up from Aquarium co-op. Great scrubber! Also tested water and made a CO2 dispenser the old school way. ( saw the 100% REAL Natural Aquarium Store [Tour] https://youtu.be/VfAJ3ITS3Nw so did it that way. ) Hoping the CO2 will help with the getting rid of the BBA, by getting a better balance in the tank. Tomorrow water change and test water. OH and I found my Amano Shrimp, they are doing fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mario V. 2 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I got my new 75 gallon set up in the living room. Spent all day setting up the scape and planting my aquarium co-op plants. Thinking about a community tank with sterbai corys, rummny nose tetras, and either German blue rams or Bolivian rams. Also considering smaller pleco such as a clown pleco. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brandy 1,676 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 More plants in the new 29 gallon... with a bucket more to put in. It got late. I love the bucelphelandra much more than I expected to. Somehow a photo just isn't catching how cool it is. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy's Fish Den 573 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Cleaned and did water change on my 93 gallon display tank, cleaned filter sponge media in sump, discovered my male albino bristlenose had babies in his cave, was able to get a bunch out to a grow out tank, but a few had already left the cave and I couldn't get them. Bagged up some plants to give to a new hobbyist. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wel-Don Tanks 78 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 With limited space in my fish room I have to get creative. Another set of shelves ready for 20 long tanks. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Ed's Aquatics 317 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Added a piece of Malaysian driftwood and some Süsswassertang to my dumbofin mosaic / cherry shrimp / mystery snail project. (You guessed it, I did watch that video) Might have to add broadleaf water Sprite to the list of plants I can kill too. Looks so bad on the left, the octo looks so good on the right. Maybe going to replace it with guppy grass. Even I can't kill that stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brandy 1,676 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Finished with the plants for now. I will probably raid the small tanks for some more christmas moss to put on the driftwood, and hydrocotyle tripartita japan, but I don't know where exactly to put that yet...I hope my vals get happy enough to fill across the whole back! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exit31 15 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Did a 50% water change on the 10G quarantine tank which is holding 12 rummy nosed tetras, and a 20% water change on the 30G (cories and dwarf gourami hiding behind the driftwood, bristlenose pleco peeking out bottom right). 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
