heres the short-list of a whole days worth of work:
1.clear out dining room to make room for tub.
2.bring tub into house from shed
3.drain 100g into tub and place heaters,fish, and powerhead in tub.
4.scoop out gravel.
5.move 100g into mini-van after bringing seats into house.
6.move 150g from bedroom into living room.
7.take 100g to storage unit and unload.
8.scoop gravel back into 150g
9.start filling 150g, place fish and heaters back into 150g.
10. top off tank and place filters in tank.
11. make shure everything is working properly and clean up mess.
12.take tub back out to shed and put crap back in dining room.
13. sit down and !

i get to do it again in like 6 months after i get my 6'x30"x24" tank built but i may hold off until we move.

Haha that sucks man. I bet it was worth every minute right? lol Heck i wouldn't even care about the work involved. It gives me something to do after school and work. Plus I don't mind setting up new tanks.

the big sev. and the one you gave me have paired up! getting a third one really evened out the agression with everyone in the tank. i have yet to see the lima eat but hes not skinny and doing well. i need to go get some earthworms and try that for the lima, all the other fish love worms.

Are earthworms what the marble was eating. He isn't eating much. Maybe I should try earthworms. The lima was eating nls pellets and shrimp with the others. I don't know if that will help but hopefully.

the marble seemed to prefer earthworms over anything else but only ate when it wanted to, not everyday.
