Unplugged all the heaters for the summer. Tanks maintain about 75F through the heat wave.

Buffed out some scratches on the 260g and a scuff mark on the 60g. Started with 800, then 1000 and finished with Novus 3. With the novus I used full strength and then added some water to what I had on a piece of poly fill and the haze went away. A986A453-D97C-4D7A-ADB4-6176F88026C7.jpeg

It’s outside the fish room on the patio but…Scored a 500g pool pond full of koi!! My wife was perusing the next door app classifieds and found it listed for free. The fellow had it in his living room. 1B12AB4C-ACC0-40AE-BA1F-81F62465A515.jpeg456194FD-8199-47E9-8781-9F94FB42840A.jpegD3327CEC-0438-431E-BEB3-8227CBF732E0.jpeg

Cleaned the inside, painted the back blue and swapped out the 5ft 100g. The 6ft 90g looks way better. Only complaint is that it’s not a 125g :shakeheadC5DE75F6-E075-4EF9-904B-852DD4D9519A.jpeg

Beautiful cories!
Your fish room keeps getting better and better, and it had already started very nice since I first saw it.
Please remind me about your SD tank - What size tank, and how many SDs total? (plus the Heros).
Cheers!

Nice!
My SD tank is only 6 ft. I too have a bunch of cories and a school of tetras and a small pleco, with 7 SDs (lost one some time back). But I am planning on adding ~3-5 fish. But mine will stay smaller than yours, as your red-hooks will eventually be huge.
My 7 fish are of 3 species, and I am heavy on males. I need to add certain species of fish, and of certain genders, not just any SD. I believe that more females is better for the 'troop' in the long run, and in daily behavior; this may be particularly important in relatively smaller tanks.
I am also putting together another tank (6'). Have not yet decided what to do with it.
Thanks.
