Round one: 2-24 60 gal hex vs Tundragirl
Rinsing 3 bags of regular flourite. What a PITA :icon_twis that stuff is seriously messy Took 6+ hours just to rinse the sediment out of the rocks ugh. Then as soon as I fill the aquarium with water- I can't even see through the glass. ugh.
Wait two days for the sediment to settle then vac out the dust off the top of the gravel. Fill back up. Add some fish (5 glowlight tetras & 3 black neons) and toss in a few potted plants till the rest come in the mail.
Day four Add 6 angels 2 hours ;later 1 dies :icon_frow shipping stress as it didn't look so good when he got here.
Day five: Plants are here!!!!!! I should have put on my swimming suit:hihi: :hihi:. tank 28" & arm 25' YOU DO THE MATH!!
Soooo...
me - my grill tongs and hamburger flipper planted the tank today.:hihi: :hihi:
My husband is going to have a fit it the kids tell him I used his grill utensils in my aquarium.:biggrin: In my book whatever works.
I currently have 5 fluorescent lights sitting on top the tank until the new one arrives. The ghetto look:wink:
