Ok I have obtained a 20 gallon tall tank from my brother and decided to Use it to place my Fish and Rock in while I tear down my 55 and do some Painting on my back glass
I went to my mothers house today and Cleaned out the 20, apon getting it home I Quickly masked off the top and Sides and commenced the spraying ( Black ) On the back glass. And I must say it looks SWEET:bowdown:
I had 10 gallons of RO/salt water mixing and Threw it in, I then mixed 10 more gallons and added it All thats in there now is My Pinguin 550 Powerhead and my Smaller pinguin Filter, I plan on getting the agra live sand mix ( the Black and white mix) and then I will add my Rock In the tank
I went to the LFS today and had the water tested from my main tank
salinity 1.021
nitrates 0
nitrites 0
PH 8.3
Calcium 250 PPM :shock: quickly added some good calcium stuff
from what the guy told me. my Water is spot on ... he didnt have a phosphate test in and he bet me his pay check that my phosphates were thru the roof
He said it was due to the RO water i have been getting ( not from him but from another Store) has a bad membrain and he would come to the house tomorrow Free of charge and help me handle the problem .
But i was thinking of tearing down my 55 and placing my Fish in the 20 tall for a few weeks after it cycles so i can Paint the glass on my 55.
Should I Do it or do you guys think it would Stress my Fish out to much to Go in the 20 ?
I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF THE BLACK BACK GLASS !
Pics comming !
