Today is cube moving day.

Coffee, then time to get my ish together and head over to start catching fish.

 

[danieyella]

Ugh I'm so nervous, every time.

This, in theory, should be easier than last time. 15min drive, not an hour. Last time they also disappeared with half the stuff for quite some time and I sat there stressed for hours.

Luckily this is the last full move I have to do.

Once the big tank gets ordered and set up, it'll just be catching fish and moving them across the house.

You've got this!

 

[danieyella]

You've got this!

I sure hope so :loudly-crying-face:

My fish were so well behaved, I am concerned for their health.

 

[fishguy242]

they'll be fine... ;) :)

 

[MrsBugmaster]

Good luck with the tank move!

It’s gonna be great! You are due for something to go smoothly. ;)

 

[danieyella]

We're up and running. Very cloudy. But, you know.....

 

[danieyella]

Starting to clear up a little.

So much sand because once this turns ponies they're going to have garden eels accompanying them.

Light, power heads, filter roller, return pump are all I have set up so far. About to hook up the ats as well. Probably going to hold off on setting up uv sterilizer again until ponies come - need to change the bulb anyway.

 

[danieyella]

Left a cord for the filter roller at Matt's parents, noticed it when I went to check on it and realized the sensor wasn't there.... oops.

Waiting for some Cuban food & then grabbing that and headed home.

 

[Lowell Lemon]

Music and dance for your Cuban meal!

 

[danieyella]

All set up, filter roller actually working now. Only 2 fish I've seen are the marine betta and foxface. Ordered a cuc refresh.

 

[danieyella]

Almost clear. Tomorrow dedicated to making something sensible of all this rock.

Have you considered building your own scape? I know you asked about branch rock. I think it could be quite easy to build something using small peices of rock. My wife and I built all of our rock structures. We used super glue rock dust and mostly wet rock. Let me know if you want to chat more about it.

Something like this could be done with much smaller rock peices... here are some examples of structures we have built.

 

[danieyella]

Yes and absolutely not within my wheel house. I have an entire bag of dry rock tiny pieces from when I tried this and then threw it all back into the bag because it enraged me.

We should talk I can walk you through it. The first one is def the hardest. I went from a structure for a 32 gal cube taking several days and like 12 hours, to building multiple structures for much larger tanks at about 2 hrs a peice. My largest tank I've built a set of structures for was 550 gal.

I genuinely don't think I'm creative in the correct ways. I'm also way way way overly critical of anything I do like that.

I have time to try and sort something out for the bigger tank, & this tank change - maybe I'll give it another shot. I'm not confident I'll succeed at all though. There will be something I hate in it, and I'll hyper focus on that every single time I look at it.
