Big updates coming! Been back out collecting and got some real gems! I'll get some good photos soon, and also getting ready to build a monster darter stream tank. Will be a shallow water, one direction flow tank to simulate a small river. Stay tuned!!
Been busy collecting darters and setting up the new (temporary) darter tank. Had to move some things around and make room for the plumbing. This tank is in my livingroom so it had to be right. I'll be unveiling this tank sometime tonight! I drilled the tank last night, set it up and aquascaped it. Needed to leave it sit 24 hrs. To be sure the water was free of microbubbles. Killed a bunch of darters one time that way. I'll be adding the fish tonight, and once everyone is settled in I'll get some photos.
Here's the new set-up...125 gallon wiith 55 g sump a 2100 gph pump cranking water end to end! The darters love it! Went out and collected about 50 darters this week. Greensides, bandeds, rainbows, bluebreasts, and variegates. They're all doing great and already eating.
Here's a video. Not too happy with the lighting. Will be making some changes to that soon. I'll do a better video when I get it right.
