Lots of changes...probably too many to list but here goes...
125
I rebuilt the doors I did on the stand. The fancy pivot hinges just didn't hold up. In the process of doing that work, we also started looking at the fish tanks as I had another issue with one of the Severum in this tank - appeared to be getting bullied. I think it may have been the one we rescued, and have had to treat a few times, from another fish store. This fish went into the community 75 that didn't have a severum in it already.
The Geos in the 55 were getting stunted so they all moved into the 125 and seem to be doing well. I'm in the process of replacing the substrate, about 1 glass section at a time (there are 3 sections, I'm using the lids as demarks). I'm all of 1 section in and have the substrate for the 2nd section. Chewy guy hates me I swear.
55 - former Geo tank
So with the Geos moved to larger waters, that left a fairly void tank for the EBA's to move into from the 40 breeder. Needs some plants in there but otherwise they're doing good with the other tank inhabitants. Also changed heaters - I was starting to trip breakers in the house so moved to a Hygger 200W heater which is doing fine. **Was a 300W Hygger per their specs.
55 - wife's tank
Been through several iterations at this point. Been trying to get some Apistos going in there but been having a struggle on that front. First set passed away, along with a host of other stuff. She was going on a nano-fish kick and well...we honestly forgot about the spotted raphael. Yeah pretty sure that porker was having a field day. So right now he's moved and in the tank are a couple double reds along with a bunch of rainbows. Also bought a couple massive
anubias plants and those are going absolutely ape in the tank. Heater in this change also to 200W. **Was a 300W Hygger as well.
75 - all three are pretty much unchanged. We lost a couple EBA's in the 75 with our first severum. Not entirely sure what happened there but no sickness and everyone else seems to be fine.
40 breeder
This became the catch all
guppy tank. The guppies from the 10 gallon shrimp tank AND my son's 10 gallon tank in his bedroom were all consolidated here...along with his
cories. They're worse than rabbits I swear. This heater was downgraded to a 150W Hygger. **Was a 300W Hygger heater.
29
This is probably the biggest change....tank was running well then my wife decided to add some
dwarf rainbows to this tank. All heck broke loose soon thereafter. Lost the apisto we had. Lost several rainbows. Lost her super red
bn. Ended up treating the tank for
ich which then put the plants into a tailspin. Val died back drastically and the lotus was touch/go for a bit. Got that all cleared and restocked with a pair of Cameroon
Kribs and some panda gara for
algae control. Plants came back then I came back to this last night...
Roughly 8 I believe...wife was counting this morning as she was trying to find them...took a hot minute as they blend in with the substrate really well at the moment.
10 - shrimp tank
Amazingly has shrimp in it yet along with a few guppy babies that were very difficult to catch.
110 - pond
Kinda sad looking at the moment honestly. Had an issue over the winter which I only recently was able to figure out. Floor was constantly wet and pond was loosing water which was a first for us. Finally pulled the head off the filter and that drastically cut down on the amount of water hitting the floor. Turns out that the flow is still a bit high so some water is still splashing out - who knew as this was the first time this happened. But result was the potted plants were not submerged in water so they kinda maybe dried out. Will see about bring them back - I think the lilies have a shot as there's new growth there already.
