As allot of you know about a month ago everything in my 55 died, including my baby stingray I was growing out (RIP Roxaine). After everything died I
scooped out all of the dead fish and drained the tank. Then I toulk the sand out and put it in a rubbermaid container and left everything else in the tank.
Then I filled the tank with water and netsoak and I filled the rubbermaid with strait netsoak. 96 hours later I drained out all of the net soak and water. Then I put
everything back how it was. Then I filled it with 50% water from the 120 downstairs and 50% from the sink. After refilling I added some smart start
bacteria and crammed the filter with old seeded media from the canister filter for the 120. Then I put in some black neon tetras in as test fish. 2 weeks
later I had the same amount of tetras so I knew the tank was now ready for fish.
I touk my C.cuatepeque (From Christine) and M.ramirezy (From Frank) out of the cramped 10 gallon and plopped them into their new home. Then
came some threadfin rainbowfish (From Rachel) and fancy plecos (L018 and L128 from congressional)! The rams have already layed eggs -but the
dad ate them- and everything else seems happy. And just when I think things couldn't get better my mom surprised me today with a new stingray (Potamotrygon Reticulata from congressional)! The tank looks great and I will post pics very soon.
