it was good seeing everyone it will probably be the last function im able to make before i move... :(

WHAT>????????????????????????

[Oldsgirl]

it's a pain... I have one of those long pythons, and push a few of the rocks aside with it so the tube is against the glass, then just kind of push and shovel the rocks out of the way as I move it around the tank, keeping it on the glass. There are usually lots of babies down in there, so I watch out for them.

I was actually going to get some thoughts from you guys, as to if you thought by putting sand or something under the rocks it would be easier to clean (since the mess wouldnt' settle so far down), but I didn't want to take the thread off topic

jus curious but how do you clean the bottom of the tank with huge black rocks like tht?

[Oldsgirl]

thanks

The tank came with about 800 of them

I guess I'm a believer in 'work with what you have' )

[cichlid1409]

i like your huge pile of plastic roots , seriously, looks good.

[Oldsgirl]

Not the greatest photo, but here are all my happy yellow fish





I had just fed them, so they were all swimming around... they look so good in there, and even make the convicts look nice!

Ok, this isn't a very impressive picture- but here's that 60 gal with the new filter up and running, and the few plants I bought stuck in the gravel I'll decorate and arrange it tomorrow, but for now I'm excited to have it functional

I had a great time, and I thoroughly enjoyed the company!!

I made out like a bandit! I've already planted all my plants (minus some java moss I'll do tomorrow once I get some black thread), have my Eheim air-feeder programmed and loaded with NLS, the ABN's are resting in their new home, and I've got a Mag12 in reserve just incase one of my (or a friend's) other Mag Drives ever goes down.

Our only regrets would be not getting that Illangi painting, and those cool looking red, white, and blue female bettas.

We had a great time, it was good seeing all. That was my first GHAC auction and I was very impressed. I look forward to the next one!

[Kiovo]

Congrats on winning the filter, and I hope you will get some more tanks up and running now that you have gotten all those fish :)

Keep smiling and have a wonderful day !
