Long term maintenance update:
It's been a year and one month now since Toni got split off into her own tank. I got a brand new Aqua Clear 110 for the 55gal she went into. It's been running ever since, even moved with her to the 125gal.
I finally had replace the sponge it came with. At this point it has to be cleaned out every 4 days or so. Where as the one in the other A.C. goes two weeks between cleanings.

In another thread I came up with the idea hooking up my python to my FX4 and let it do the draining.
Well good idea, but the port of the bottom of the FX4 is a tad bit bigger than my python.
Hose on the left is the one that came with the FX4, the right one the python...so nope no FX4 doing the draining till I get a bigger hose.

I've really enjoyed reading through this thread its been intresting to watch her grow from start to this point.
Well the SD's have been rehomed. In preparation of the new tank being set up I wanted to lower the bioload in Toni's tank to stretch the water changes to every 3rd days. That way I can do one tank a day cycling thru the three tanks I will have running.
Surprisingly the removal of the SD's has made Toni more active than before, Catness also is out more. Maybe thier constant zooming about stressed out Toni and Catness.

ZZZZZZZ
Turned the light on took pic then right back off.....she slept right thru it.
Her pectoral fin was holding her up or for sure would have been flat on the bottom.

Hahah that’s what I look like when people turn the light on when I sleep too
A month back or so, Toni got her first battle scar, remember then crazy jump out and bounce back into the tank. Well it left two scars not one. I noticed the second one a day or so ago
I saw the blue one before. Yellow is the new one. Not sure if it was done at the same time, or if it's new.

Well tomarrow could be possibly the 10th 90deg + day in a row. For some thats normal but here in the Northwest it's not so. About to tie a record for us for the most 90deg + days in a row.
Anyways this heat has the temps rising in my tanks. Heaters have been unplugged since June, so they are not adding to the issue. But it sure is changing the normal actions of both Toni and my HRPs. Toni is digging like crazy all day long, clink, clink, clink of her spitting rocks out against the tank sides. And the male HRP is so ramped up, I am thinking of grabbing another female or two and toss them in there.
