Well winter is gone & the work begins on getting the 110 gal stock tank outside
on the back deck & set back up again from being in the cabin all year yippee ! ! !
just to let you in on what it takes to break down & set up a 110 gal stock tank
it takes dedication hard work & MOST OF THE DAY, just emptying the tank
catching the fish & getting them in a safe container for a few hrs is a job alone.
Once that's all done & situated, then comes the real fun & that's to get what water
that's in the tank out & put in ANOTHER container to use for the main stock tank
that the fish will go back into once it's emptied & set back up again cause I need
the stand it sits on, so a few hrs of getting the water out & getting the stand to put
the stock tank on then I have to start putting the water back in from the other tank.
So while the water was sitting outside in the sun it warmed it up a little bit & I
took what water was in the 1st tank (warm water) put it in the main tank they
were in & it filed it 1/2 way cause the rest of the water that I took out went into
the container the fish were in while I set their tank back up to put them back in
once the main tank had water in it where I could put the fish in that's what I did.
I made a video on my tablet but I can't figure out how to get it to my gmail that
I have on my computer, BUT I will figure it out & show it on here for you to 👀
cause that was the whole Idea of getting a tablet in the 1st place. But if I can't get
it to go on my computer from the table then there's other ways of getting it done
where there's a will there's a way as the ole saying goes so that's just how it is.
But now that I have the stock tank out I can work on the other mission I have
on my mind & that's to rearrange my living area in the cabin where my tv &
computer is & set up the 75 gal aquarium where it will be a show tank to video
& the videos I do will go on my you tube channel & will have info about plant's
and tanks along with all sorts of other info about fish & filtration, substrate & ?
So if your into this kind of thing your more than welcome to follow along with
me, my you tube channel on raising fish you can hit this link to subscribe to it
Raising goldfish on a budget < this is my you tube channel where I video what
I have been doing with the guppies I was raising then went to goldfish to work
with to start growing aquatic plant's to set up another guppy pond for indoors.
That's about all I got for now till I get the other mission I want to get done
started & finished where I'll have everything done that will take a few days
to get everything in place & going & hopefully by the time winter shows back
up again I'll have the stock tank outside wrapped around to protect it from
freezing without having to bring them back in again, & redo it next year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, here I am 5-13-22 & have been really working HARD TO get the
mission at hand done, I'm about 1/2 there at this point so far & now it's GO
TIME for what's left that needs to get done & that's getting the 75 gal tank
painted (back & ends) cause I got the diy stand made, the overhead cabinet
done with the light attached under it, & once the tank is on the stand I'LL BE
SO SO happy & relived it's off the floor & on the stand & ready to work on
getting the plant's in it, I'll have a video with everything I've been working on.
It's going to be a LONG DAY when I get started on getting the plants out of
the 30 gal aquarium to go in the 75 gal aquarium so they have more water area
to grow & I got the fert tabs to put in the planter bottles to help them to grow.
This is just temporary to get the plants as big as I can & it may be till next yr
B-4 I do anything else with the rest of the mission I'm working on right now
but for the time being I'll be working on growing aquatic plant's for part 2
of the mission ONCE I KNOW the goldfish are safe to live outside over winter.
So once I got that out of the way & the plants in place & all is GOOD I'll be
putting the rest of my mission into action with setting up a guppy tank to get
back into them again, that's why I'm rearranging the cabin AGAIN, so I can
have a place to put them once I get the tv-computer table in place so I can
see just what space I have at the end of the tv-computer table on 1 wall.
I don't want any fish in the aquarium with the plants so I don't have to try &
catch them this is why I am working on them being in a tank without plant's
cause when the plants are BIG ENOUGH & I have enough of them I'll put
the BIGGER plant's in a 110 gal stock tank & all the guppies to be a breeding
tank & the smaller plant's in the aquarium will be seller plant's to work with.
