been trying to set my 180g set up and get the fish in it. Problem is I have no idea what I'm doing.Hopefully the little albino does ok at the vet how you been
Setting up sumps is not something I am familiar with or used to maintaining....and I've been running into quite a few predicaments.....so it's taken quite a long time. Going to get there at some point!!!!Other than that just working full time and school. Still of course trying to make career decisions.Taking Orgo 2 this semester. Organic chemistry studying is a part/full time job in general. Last year I spent 20+ hours a week doing homework/studying excluding class time. It's just a time consuming class. I like the rxns and mechanisms though. Hoping once I get the tank set up, I will be able to start back with more art and posting more!
How have you been? Thank you very much for the albino well wishes. He is very spunky, so I have my hopes up
It’s update time! The team is still in the 55g. I’m doing around 75% WC every 5 days. 180 gallon is still sitting there. Found some different people to work on the tank. They want me to trade the wet dry for a trigger sapphire sump. Any thoughts on that?
I rearranged some decorations in the tank yesterday because almost everybody has been territorial. Except Pinky the albino sen ( he is an Angel). Everyone was so happy and they all seem to be getting along again.
Please enjoy the following images of Pinky zooming for joy (he’s so fast that the images were blurry).
The second set is The Moke trying to get in everyone else’s pictures. What a ridiculous fish.

Thank you!Love your group
Last time I measured her she was around 9inchs. I will have to measure her again.
UPDATE: We measured everybody today (barbels to tip of tail):
Pinky (albino sen): 7 inch
Macaroni( polli):10inch
The Moke ( brown mokelembembe): 9.5 inches
Soba( camo mokelembembe): 10 inch
More planking and piling fun! More photos of everybody trying to be in the plant meadow. Stacking and balancing in the lounge chair (magna-floats).
Tank update. The 180 is filled with water again. One of the aquarium shop guys set it up as a durso system. It's quiet, has an 1 inch gap, at the top, but I'm not sure about the flow rate. Any suggestions/advice on how to calculate how much flow I need? It's very low right now, but I want to make sure there is ample dissolved oxygen in the tank before I put the fish in. 180 g build < other thread that goes into more details about this.
