Good morning everyone! I've started setting up my outside tanks. I usually set up about 8-10 freshwater tanks each year from late April until late October and add Florida native fishes (although I will occasionally add FW tropical fish as well) that I collect with license. I have reset the stands and tanks and assembled the two air pumps, sponge filters, and more. The main thing left with setup is to re-run the electrical and the air tubes. Because of time limitations I will probably wait until the end of the month (after RAP Orlando) for collecting and adding fish. The main focus for these tanks is learning and breeding fish. There are many hobbyists interested in native fishes so I pass them along at the end of the year or share them with a local nature center (absolutely no aquarium releases into the wild!!!).
