PICS! 105 custom tall: aquabee's exit from the world of nanos

I don't think carbon will take out copper like it won't take out salt, but I could be wrong. You just might have to do several WC to get it out gradually.

I read that only fresh activated carbon less than 5 days wet will help to absorb some of the copper. That's why you have to take out fresh carbon before medicating. But you're right, most of it will have to be taken out by water changes.

The plan is to do a huge WC next weekend to get rid of most of the salt and copper, then add fresh carbon to help remove as much copper as possible, and add the Purigen back in. And then I'll add in some swords. I'm hoping that'll spark a spawn!

[SunnyHouTX]

Yup, looks like it.

Pair guarding what I hope will soon be a fry pit!

[aquabee]

Thanks Suntown! Those geos gotta compete with the silver dollars for food... I was feeding them some frozen food today and the geos totally lost out. In the week or so that I've had 'em, the silver dollars have nearly doubled in size too!

Bout to post up another vid of my pair guarding their fry pit. :)

[SunnyHouTX]

Nice video B! Wow those geos are really tearing it up in there. Tank looks healthy and a hive of activity.

Maybe get him a GF

I could. That would require a long @$$ trip out to Charles' and Rob's place though. I'll keep an eye out for a lady emp, although they really prefer schools.

All the friends he had are dead. The roselines shun him but he straggles alongside them yet...

[sunkenmetal]

well at least he has friends

[aquabee]

Just before this morning's video was taken:


Bad pic but this is the lone emp that survived the carnage and the plague! He's back in the main tank schooling with the roselines. :)

[aquabee]

Man, it's gotten to the point where I have to film them from a distance cuz every time they see me near the tank, they just want MOAR FOOOODS!

[sunkenmetal]

feeeeed meeee

[aquabee]

Thanks guys. They are serious fatties. They're still digging in the sand looking for more food!!
