    I think I may try and figure out what to do with my empty 10 gallon. Ideas are welcome. Nothing that will break the bank.

    Never said it was bad, just said if you don't want 'em to crossbreed don't put 'em in the same tank. Very Happy But I totally understand about only being able to keep things alive in certain tanks. Had it happen to me more than a few times.

    Oh and if I get this tank built, it will be a 15 long, 36x10x10. Kind of a nice size and shape.

    Got auctions posted still have a few to go trying to make room LMAO yeah I'm always saying that. Topping off a few tanks that's about it today since I have a few other irons in the fire

    Trying a new "Marina Breeder Box & Holding Tank", hangs on the outside of the tank, hook up an airline so water flows thru kinda looks like a HOB, anyways it ROCKS!!!! loving it, helps in so many ways. Going to get me 2 or 3 more, sure beats having to set up an extra tank in emergency or trying to figure out where to put one

    and gave Fred a big water change, drained his tank down to where he was just barely under water with him sitting upright Laughing and he was cool with it!
    Gave the 125g salt a good vacuuming and 30g waterchange, also moved the rest of the macro from the 55g into its sump.
    Hit the 120g reef with dried phytoplankton and moved a few corals into better spots.

    Had to run get a heater at Wallyworld to hold me over until I can get to the lfs. Sold some more guppies, working on a rack to hold 3 20's for my test research project which means the kitty & fulus house will have to move. Need to sell a few more of the L.Curviceps since there's a new batch of fry, water changes on a few tanks, the Jaws & Lil Woman babies are growing like weeds did try something different this time as far as that goes and worked so well I'll probably be doing that again (little experiment that worked!!!!!)

    Got the puffers taken out of the 20 and took the shrimp and fish out of the 5 gallon. Moved the puffers to the 5 gallon and shrimp and fish to the 20 gallon. Took out the rasboras from the 20 gallon and put them in the 75g. Can't catch the tinwini danios to move them... Waiting for Mocha and Lattes wigglers to go free swimming to I can put them in the awesome breeder box. Once that is done going to move them to my moms house. I have to get down my totes so I can bring everything from their tank and fresh water to set them up.

    Going to be a pain, but they are my babies and I will be doing all water changes and everything. Will tote fresh water from my house to hers every week.

    And as I'm typing the dude that wanted the puffers showed up and now they are gone cheers Best part is I sold them for more than I bought them.

    Emptied 5 gallon and cleaned it out. Going to siphon Mocha and Lattes babies into it then start the tank tear down and move. Going to do small water changes on the 10 gal fry tank, shrimp tank and just adding water to the 75 for now and hope I don't stress Stripes and Glisten so they don't eat their babies.

    Off to my moms to grab buckets yippie...not
