Moved things around in the F8 tank to try to keep it interesting. One of the F8s is doing a lot of pacing on the rear glass.

Did a really good cleaning of my bluespotted puffers reef tank. Hubby finally got a connector for easy hose water changes, no more buckets!!! But... got attacked by a bristle worm. I'm still pulling out the barbs--ouch!

Tomorrow i'm doing some major move arounds. The peas are being moved to Bevo's old tank. 55 is getting divided, Bevo and P-Nut are going in there. Manson got a new tank all together. FINALLY getting rid of P-Nuts crappy tank which has been sitting on the ground in my sons room. I have A LOT of sand washing and swapping ahead of me tomorrow! Not really thrilled, but it has to be done. Manson is going in the kitchen...I will officially have tank in all the rooms except the bathrooms and the laundry room. I never in a million years thought it would come to this...lol!

Did some routine aquarium maintenance; removed the filter and skimmer so I could scrape the terminator hair algae off of the back glass panel. Unfortunately for some reason Camille decided to sit on top of the powerhead and viciously guard it, which sucked because the powerhead needed cleaning too. Got tired of getting my hands bit trying to shoo her off so I had to squirt her off of it with a turkey baster.

+1 to El Scorpio!

Water Change and regular aquarium maintenance such as cleaning the filter up and repairing the hood that broke...besides that nothing else.

A 25% water change. Removed the algae from the glass. Checked to see if all the hermit crabs were still alive.
