TheDukeAnumber1 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 @Edward Steven @Cory Thanks guys. It's curious how a couple compliments really feeds the aquarium passion lol. All grown out from 2 val and 2 sag from the Co-op. It has been a very fun tank. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly this is like my platform for while I am getting away from most social media, because all it takes is 2 comments and you feel great. It also only takes 2 comments to feel horrible. Too often without moderation on social media, you get both and the 2 negative and 15 positive, the 2 negative win out 😞 I honestly enjoy that tank and it inspired me a bit, I've been setting up some jungles to watch them grow in and I can't wait to see them well established.

TifNee837 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Did water changes in all 3 tanks, trimmed my java moss, and planted my recently received Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus! This plant is AMAZING!😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Gravel vacced and did a water change in the 75g and planted 2 dwarf lily bulbs from the co-op. A water change in the 35g hex. Nitrates were good on all the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted July 22, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted July 22, 2020 Busy day today. Got some red bristlenose and shrimp from @Randy and now got some turtles ready for @Bob. It was also time to get air moving in and out of the fish room as the dehumidifier was making to too hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I was finishing up my water changes, when my wife yelled 'Swarm!'. My favorite hobby is fish, but my profession is beekeeper and duty had just called. The bees were 35 ft up a beech tree and somewhat inaccessible. But with the help of a 25 ft ladder and empty 5 gal. fish bucket on a fiberglass pole, I was able to get the mass of the swarm, including the queen down to the ground. Once the queen walked in to the hive, the rest of the bees began to follow. And it is not even lunch yet! 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, my friend Andy is who helped me build my fish store and he is a full time bee keeper as well. Doesn't sent out his bees, only produces honey with them and does queen breeding. Before we opened the store, we were testing bee grubs mixed into repashy. He was able to get amazing colors and growth on guppies. But it was messy to feed out.

Let's just say though I'm glad the 'Hello Fresh' box came and that we are having Apricot Chicken with roasted Yukon Gold potatoes tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Struggle Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Worked on the air system today and should be able to finish it up tomorrow. Next thing to tackle will be the electrical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Started our plant collection for our "Tropical" patio. Sun screens arrived yesterday and are going up this afternoon/evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) I collected Daphnia today. These are wild Daphnia I collected from a ditch in front of my house. It was about to dry up so I am running a little more water in to it so the Daphnia will last a little longer.

Struggle Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Finished the air system today but someone (me!) didn’t check the material for the electrical system and there issues so no progress there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexa Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Rescaped the 6 gallon in my kitchen! Maybe it will look good with orange neo shrimp... I’ll let the plants grow in while I think about it 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Came in from doing yard work to find my 10 gallon leaking from the side seam so my mandatory furlough "vacation" day off turned in to a clean-up and fish rescue operation. Thanks to the Dollar Per Gallon sale, I was able to quickly replace the 10 with a 20. I'm actually kinda glad this happened because when I started to pull out my java fern and vallisneria, I realized I have waaaaay more red wag platy fry that I suspected. The extra room in the tank will be nice as they grow. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) @Pete the baby wags are so cute! Always more fry than we realize. NIce video update! Edited July 28, 2020 by Daniel Tagged Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RovingGinger Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I bought 4 more used tanks (2 10 gal, 2 20) for my wall of guppies. Almost got a coworker talked into taking the 20 gallon I don't want (Aqueon Ascent, doesn't fit the aesthetics of the other tanks) so that her kids could have some baby guppies 😉 Spreading the addiction! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnster14 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Trimmed up my 5 gallon desktop shrimp tank. Every time I let it get too crazy I worry I have a drop in shrimp population. But then with a quick trim and the sudden lack of hiding spaces they all come out of the woodwork! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
