Updates from the 300

Glad I have one supporter for less polys... lol. Yep, you understand where Im coming from.
The current filtration on my 300g is two FX6 and one FX5 canisters. This has been a pretty good combo for my bio load but I can already see changes in my maintenance and just dont see it getting easier with the rest of the polys getting up to my endli's size.
I think for the long run keeping a light stock is good. I was running two Eheim pro 2028 and a Emp400 on my 150g. I eventually swapped the Emp400 out for a fx6 to allow me to push the tank closer to the wall.
I'll get more polys again when I move my non poly fish over to another tank. I am planning to go poly only tank to solve my feeding issue.

The lighter stock does help. Once a year I end up leaving the country and traveling for up to two weeks so I really dont have a water change person. They house sit and feed the fish but thats it. So when the tank has heavy stock and zero water changes for two weeks... it can be pretty dirty. This is with very light feedings during that two week period.
I would love to do a poly only tank but with my recent downsize in home I am limited. I did get the 300g show tank in the living room and I have a 65B in the office for my puffer and that is it besides a 40B qt/hospital tank for emergency. Also have the wife factor to deal with. She does not care for the polys and a tank full would be too much.
haha I got the wife factor too. However my kids love fish so she is more accepting of the hobby. I have decided to setup tanks in the garage. If I have the budget I can cut the drywalls to make the garage tanks viewable from the living room.

I just cant come up with anything... My koliba that jumped was kolibasaurus rex and I called it Rex for short. Maybe this one should be Rex 2.0
I look for a characteristic on which to name and I cant find anything that stands out. The fish is well behaved, and is a good community fish and thats all I can come up with, lol
I just snap when they pose, I had not thought to do side shots... Will work on it
The ansorgii is really starting to be my favorite. Very active, good eater, outgoing nature. But a toss up since I really like Croc. I cant believe Croc is 18" now. He is such a beast when he pops out to feed. Yeah the ansorgii has filled out nicely and I hope it gets to be a big fish like Croc, or bigger even.
