If I got one thing from my dad, it's that I can redneck engineer on the fly. I just hope that this doesn't result in a flood. At least today has shown that my DIY goes wrong as often as it goes right! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyIce Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 With the dollar per gallon sale I picked up a 29 gallon last night and today I took it apart, cut the glass a bit, sanded it, and put it back together on its back to make a 28 gallon âlowboyâ:  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nataku Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Water change day today. Did changes on the 47, 58, 65 and twin 29s. Trimmed some vals down that were getting too long and tangled in one of the 29s. Pulled a bunch of guppy grass out of both 29s. Fed that and the val trimmings to the rats who love their salads. Had a helper when I went to refill the 29s. Petting was required before I could add water. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I moved my juvenile danio erythromicron into their permanent home today. What a process! Poor things. They're now a bit on edge but they seem to be okay so far in their new home. There are 11 but they spend a lot of time separately so it's impossible to get more than a couple in a pic. Cleaned out the quarantine tank and it is looking mighty empty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the old school mercury style thermos. The brand is Suisaku and I found them on Amazon. They are a little pricey but worth it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I visited a local box and LFS, just keeping an eye on the inventory. I'm going back for CPDs tomorrow. I haven't had a chance to get my Co-Op plants to the tubs yet, so I got them out of their baskets, and put them in a fresh bucket with a small Co-Op sponge filter. I added a mount for my spare Fluval Nano. I am going to see if I can fit both the Nano power cable, and airline tubing thru the Nano mount. I also topped-off water in my tanks. Someone was thirsty.

Maggie Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I got my supplies straightened out - they were scattered around and in terrible disarray! (Note the GIANT container of flake food - I got the wrong size and not sure how many fish one has to have to make this a viable option, but maybe I can donate it to my LFS). My favorite set of supplies is the brine shrimp setup. It's so easy to make a batch every day and the fish go NUTS over them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbit Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Today I talked myself out of buying three more 10 gallon tanks. âšď¸ Also did a small water change on my 55 gallon and have started scheming about re-scaping a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Technically I did this last night, but I turned a cheap bamboo windchime into a fountain. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Yesterday I did a 30% water change on my 45-gal and cleaned the glass top, but nitrates still on high side (no fish in here yet) so i did another 15% WC today. Also installed airstone in the sponge filter, and installed the pre-filter sponge on the HOB intake (oops, got the wrong size and it's gigantic). Yesterday the siphon stopped working for some reason so had to empty by hand. I have to fill with several 1-gal jugs and a couple of 3-gal jugs that are just too heavy at my age to hold and pour from shoulder height. Dumping the large bucket of old water 4 times wasn't good for my back, either. I don't have a good setup for water changes so have decided to do smaller WC more often, maybe 10% twice a week instead of 15-20% weekly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I found my spare Nano for my utility bucket. The airline fits thru the mount, in front of the power cable. I will use this with the light the next time that I get plants that will not immediately get planted.
