I moved 4 tanks today.
The peps need more often waterchanges and being on the top level of the tiers was rather difficult for me to get to. So i emptied it, removed the black sand/shell grit mix and replaced it with white play sand. Sadly some of the fry did not appreciate the move but it really could not be held off any longer. The adults will breed again. So now they are on the second shelf and much easier for me to access
The 3 tanks that were on the second shelf, 2 have now moved to the top and the 3rd is sitting beside my apple snails 2ft tank.
Tomorrow i'm hoping to remove the wood from the 5ft and scrub them, will give the gravel and extra long vacuum, so will be at least a 50% WC for the 5ft. I'll also be cleaning the canister and i'll need to pick up some new sponges for it.
