WVNeds's Tanks

[WVNed]

I finally got time tonight to do some testing.
NO3 17.6, down from 45. Denitrators are online and working.
PO4 0.04 with LaCl almost off. I think 5 ml a day into 650 gallons is nothing really.
Alk is 9 with 2 part off. The kalk stirrer is doing the work.
I am growing a lot of algae in the 29 gallon and dumping it as well.

The new simpler bigger way is going as planned. You never know when you build things for sure.

I have added a coral beauty, rusty angel and kleins butterfly to the 180.
I also added a PBT and pearlscale butterfly. They both were paper thin, started to eat and I was hopeful but on day 5 they were not to be seen in the tank in the morning.
Now if I could just keep the glass cleaned.
Next to get the 75 set up in the fish room. No hurry there.

Bear spent the day at the vet today. He stopped eating yesterday and is very lethargic. We thought the internal bleeding had started again. It will sometime soon from the cancer but they think it is his stomach. Nothing seen internally on ultrasound or x-ray. I cooked him some chicken and rice and he at a bit for dinner.
The death watch continues. It is very hard. He only has a few months at most with this aggressive blood born cancer.
Spent the morning broken up and crying and had a headache the rest of the day. It is what it is.

Sorry Ned

Sorry Ned I had to put my Bear down a few years ago. Hard to lose a family member even if they are furry.

Sorry to hear Ned :(

I have started emailing GSD breeders. The only thing you can do is try try again. It's 4 really big shoes to fill.

Todays survey of my un QTed, un dipped, algae filled, aiptasia infested and disease ridden tanks of doom.
It makes me sad that I am not smart enough to tell other people how to do this.

Really is a pity that you have no idea what you’re doing, especially with how good those tanks look. Downright strange, really

I dont do anything but keep the water and glass clean, the flow going and feed. I buy fish and things everywhere including Petco.

have you ever had an issue between the cbb and the long nose?

I'm surprised the foxface and long nose don't have a few rounds. They almost look alike.

i was thinking the same with the cbb and long nose.
i was considering adding a second cbb to my tank.
how much damage could they do to each other with that tiny mouth.

I've been bit by my cbb several times during feeding. It don't feel like nothing. I assume the damage comes from the spines on the fins?

Nope
All my fish are required to get along.

@Gtinnel was here today. I gave him worms.

I am sorry about that.

I thought about culturing. I haven't been able to convince the husband.

I move fast and keep her confused. What's done is done.
Sorry dear, What did you want for dinner?

Good idea. One project after another. He'll never notice I'm cultivating worms while doing laundry!

i find forgiveness is always easier than permission.

I'll have to wait on cooler weather. They die with ease in the heat. I'll have time to arrange containers. And puck out proper soil.

You keep the worms in a wine cooler. You keep wine on the top shelf and if they complain you give them a glass and explain to them how beneficial it is. You give them more until they agree or forget about it.
