Out with the old...
in with the new! Finally set up the Eclipse System 3 tank that I picked up on craigslist for a cool $5. =) Filled it up with the remaining Eco-Complete from the 5.5 gal and transferred over the 2 Amazon swords, Java moss, and log decor from the existing 2 gal tank. It's a good thing the 2 and 3 gal tanks share the same bio-wheel size cause I can just pop over the seeded one from the 2 gal and not miss a beat.
Moved the 3 female guppies over to their new home and transferred the 1 male guppy over to our 12 gal tank while I was at it. Last but not least, introduced the remaining 5 pygmy cories as well. Water seems to be a bit cloudy but hopefully that'll settle down in a day or so.
Broke down the 2 gal and gave it a thorough cleaning. My experiment with using black sand as a substrate is now officially over. No more. Too annoying. Eco-Complete will be my substrate of choice from now on. Dang, didn't realize it had such a huge algae outbreak on all the walls. These algae scrapers work really well. Takes the algae right off and the algae also just rinses right off the scraper with water. Nice. Currently soaking the tank and filter components with some vinegar. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do with this tank. Maybe take it to work?
