Soooooo Remember this project?
I was eyeballing the big tank this morning on my one day off - thinking, I have fifty things to do on my one day off - maybe I could transform this tank again to house my 4 spawns at the moment
What a great idea.
I was going to be a good DIY nessy photographer, and kept thinking of funny things I could say, but at the end of the day, it's going to be night.
And I didn't
Anyway - here's the shots
$50 of filter foam from Clarks rubber, the tank still had the poster edges (on the bottom and the back) so i cut little splits along the edges and sort of wedged the foam in.
For the front I've used random suction caps to hold the foam in place - somebody say SLAP DASH PRODUCTION?
Why yes, yes it is.
Here's the final shot, I've got 2 x 10 watt heaters set at 32 and producing 28 degrees tank, filter foam, seasoned sponge filters in each compartment, plants n stuff.
I made some daggy javamoss carpet squares with some plastic I had lying around... and used the middle one to hold the bowing foam out.
It's architectural.. man.
From the left:
I'll be surprised if these guys live - but they're the salamander spawn I just had - a few weeks old... they're tiny... but they were the reason I've done this... I want them in a stable environment before I leave them for 7 days.
I'll have someone feeding them BBS every second day(ish) but they were previously in 6 lts, now they have about 60.
In the middle:
There's about 5 of these guys - from my HM x Giant spawn - they're pretty big, I'll be jarring them when I get back from away holidaaaaay
This is the only one I was able to sex - oh, you can see the freshwater seaweed carpet I've bound - will this even work?
On the right, are my few week old Spiderman spawn and dragon spawn (they were a few days apart) they're growing out nicely (about 4 weeks)
Already on adult brine and grindals soon
