Now that auction seanson is over.................
« on: May 06, 2013, 10:54:19 AM »
Now that auction season is over,I plan on setting up the remainder of my tanks. I will also set up 3 more 50's to use for grow outs. I hope by next auction season I wont have to worry do I have enough room. Does anyone else have any fish room plans for this dorment time of year?

I will still be working on mine.  Getting a few more tanks set up.  Tank lighting.  Re-working water lines.  Etc.  Etc.
I used to be a people person... but people ruined that for me.

I've got a 180 to setup yet.

In the room it'll reside I've been working very, very slowly on finishing the room itself first, then I'll get to the stand, then finally get water in the tank. I've already got a group of fronts and clown loaches I'll be moving into it, but it'll free up a smaller 6' tank display in my living room for something else.

I've also contemplated moving my 150/2x 20L stand setup out of the fish room in order to replace it with 3x 6' 100 gallon tanks, but I'm still on the fence. There's a few other things that would have to happen to if I make the switch.

Now that auction season is over I will relax and enjoy my lower electricity bills and less water changes since I sold off three tankfuls of fish.  :) 

Primarily, I will be focusing on trying to get my apistos (iniridae, agassizi) to breed, possibly the nannacara anomala once they are big enough, along with the new nanoluteus and gold ocellatus I acquired at auction or in the past few weeks.  And just watch the convicts keep breeding and breeding and breeding.

I am going to finish my actual fish room and set up a area in the garage to store stuff that I sell, as it will be a better way to keep track of stuff. I will continue to learn more and more about the hobby. And always I will be out chasing deals:)
