What did you do to your tank(s) today?

[TRyan]

I've never been able to take good pics from the top view. Looks like you have it figured out.

Is that ludwigia rubin or glandulosa?

We did our usual weekly water change, vacuuming and glass cleaning.

That’s a great looking tank, you should consider starting a journal so that we can learn from you.

My obligatory question these days, what sand do you have and how do you keep it clean.

It is ADA LaPlata. To keep it clean I vacuum once a week. As to starting a journal, there's not a lot that goes on aside from regular maintenance and watching epiphytes slowly grow.

Planted java fern, Anubias and Bucephalandra in aquasoil for a new tank layout.
Can't wait to post it on social media and watch people squirm.

Prep work!

50% water change, a few minor trimmings, and scraping the walls. So a more simple maintenance this time.

Loving how it’s looking but I’m getting ready for a rescape sometime this year

Just fed my first algae tablets and sinking wafers to my corydoras, and shrimp. My rasboras are so bossy so they kept trying to eat them too .

Sixteen Celebes Rainbow Fish went into quarantine today. I spent 90 minutes acclimating them and still had one go wonky when he went into the tank. He seems to have recovered now.

These are my next obsession..




another month maybe?

The tanks I ordered from the LFS with my holiday bonus came in.



20TM - Terrarium.
45SA - Gobies and Hillstream Loaches
30A - Undecided, but it fits perfectly at the end of the kitchen counter.

Now to figure out what lights to use. I have both AquaWorx and Chihiros, so I would like to stay in the same family.

CO2 tank refill day. It was actually yesterday but I just got around to moving them to the basement today. The 20lb has a siphon and I use it to refill a paintball tank and 5lb tanks, if necessary.

Do things the easy way when you can. I'm fixing up a cheap used stand for the new (also used) 75g farm tank. Much easier to get things mounted and wired inside when it's on sawhorses and you have easy access through top and front with doors removed. Should be starting to set up the tank in a week or two.

I added 6 Celebe’s Rainbows to the new Dutch tank. The rest will be added next Monday. They make it hard to get a good picture. I keep seeing them listed as top-dwelling fish, but so far I haven’t seen that behavior. They go everywhere, quickly.

You can also see the Ludwigia is finally getting color now that the ferts have been sorted. Don’t forget to set the dosing time on the Chihiros doser, lol! You can put in a schedule, but if the daily dosing time isn’t set, it won’t dispense.

Been there, done that.

30% water change. I have been on the struggle bus for months with this tank. Green spot algae and then a big hair algae outbreak. The hair algae has been really tough to get a handle on. I think I am finally be turning a corner with it. Today was a big prune of rotala that has been hanging onto quite a bit of it, a serious vacuum, and getting as much out and off plants by hand as possible. Hopefully this next couple weeks shows that changes are working.

After faffing about for ages with my first ever aquascape, I finally ordered some plants - excited!!!

Sent my tank into dark start three days ago, but made the mistake of adding too much of that water prep stuff to take out chloride etc. Was left with a blueish tint to the water, so I did a 90% water change today. Noticed some biofilms on the wood already, so at least the bacteria seemed to be ok with being overdosed
