Besides the fish the other thing I did PU was a another filter also. He also had a used complete with pump AGA wet dry for around 75 bucks so I spent today getting that hooked in with a HOB overflow and then plugged her in the pump is rated for 1000GPH with my other filter rated at 900 GPH combined flow are 1900 and then my 2 Korillas are 1800 then my UV's with their 300 GPH needless to say I have no dead zones I think

Thought I would give you a update NO LOSSES at all and zero problems with waer quality at all. I had no ammonia or Nitrite spikes at all in my tank. In fact everything is eating like a horse and this weekend I went ahead and put the rest of the fish that were in QT in the tank.

Update no losses or water quality issues at all. In fact I never had a Ich issue at all or an outbreak I will get picks of everything later after I get the tank cleaned up called been in and out of the hospital getting ready for major surgery on my brain for my Spilepsy and they want to do it right and so do I.

I do love my WIFE. Here is what she gave me for Chirstmas this year a Nova Extreme Pro T-5 light set to replace my PC lamps. Then she told me she wants a Ribbon eel for Chirstmas good thing I built my SFE a nice place to hide in that 4 exit 1 1/2 PVC pipe that is h shaped and buried in the snad now.

Give a few days til the T-5's get here ok the PC's I had decided today to give the smoke of death from the ballasts so I get to mount the T-5's as soon as the UPS man gets them here. Right now all that is lighting the tank is 2 24 inch single strip lights and it looks like crap. Between that and the move to Streator were we just closed on our house I have to clean it up some first OK.

T-5's are here and running fish were like THE LIGHT IT BURNS AT FIRST Now they are going WE CAN SEE again. Working on getting her cleaned up however been here a month and wifey wants her Chirstmas Present EARLY lost one fish in the move the SFE Carpet Surfed into the box of pumps during the move he jumped out of a hole 1 inch in size luckily I have covered the tank in 1/4 inch egg crate now so howfully no more Carpet surfers. Wife is getting a Blue ribbon Eel for Chirstmas and it is at my LFS for pickup today he has had it for 4 days and it is EATIGN already YES that is the hard part. So I built a nice tunnel of 1 1/2 inch PVC for it and the new SFE to hide in.

I ended up having to pass on the Blue ribbon the one the LFS had escaped and died on the floor of the store the NIGHT BEOFRE I WAS TO GET IT. However the LFS had gotten in a 4 inch Queen angel my wife fell in love with so I got that instead along with a Koran and 2 Yellow and another SFe giving me 2 since I got one from a friend after the move he did not want this one anymore was to big he said. at 18 inches long and 1 inch around. Also got my HOB fuge going finally YES one side has a 8 inch deep sand bed in a low flow side of the unit along with the Cheato I put into that side. The main portan has 10 lbs of LR chunks in it and before my Nitrates were getting up to 40PPM now stay around 20 or less I am not going to Bitch on that would you. All new additions were QT'ed for 3 weeks before being put into the tank.
