Beautiful...
 
Hey Lovelies!  I made it through another crazy Monday at work, the tank lights are on, the brew is flowing and all is alright in the universe.  Maybe I'll treat the fishes to some frozen bloodworms tonight.

Ruskull...  I have no wood in the tanks.  I have now 2 tanks showing this lower PH.  So, based on that I am honing safely in on water source.  Testing my tap water now.  Straight from the tap it is 7.8.  We'll see after setting out.  I read somewhere that it is possible there is an added chemical in our water that increases PH so as to not corrode pipes as easy.  But then when water is released it evaporates.  Not sure about this or why all of a sudden.  We are just getting over mud season though so perhaps something has changed with the run off from winter in streams. 
 
I normally get Nitrates of 40 on a regular basis.  And I do a regular water change of approx 30% every week.  But when I tested yesterday not only did I have the lower PH in both tanks but Nitrates were off the charts in both tanks.  0 Ammonia and 0 Nitrite though.  Well bottom line is I did a HUGE water change on both tanks.  80%.  Nitrates are back at 40 and PH is up to between 6.6 to 6.8.  Will stick to testing daily and possible water changes daily till this gets figured out.  Oh, and I can cut back on feeding a bit in my Mollie tank..  just not my guppy tank due to the fry.  But I will deal with added water changes to hopefully keep control. 
 
Anyway...  Hey Lovelies!  Had a great Mother's Day yesterday!  Got to spend part of the day by myself and then the rest with my mom and my daughters and grandsons.  Weather wasn't great but you can't have it all!  lol  Had to deal with a little family drama..  but thankfully not MY family.  lol 
 
 
Are you on well water or city water?
 
Hey lovelies! I'm trying to 'reel in' a 'fish' if ya know what I mean ;) haha
 
Hey Lovelies!!!
 
Took the family out to eat at a wings place.. I got Jamaican Jerk, it was nothing special..
 
 
Whilst we were out, I got another lil angel fish..
 
Nice to hear Hambone, post a picture of the little guy/girl when you get a chance.
 
Hey Lovelies!  We like the new Gold Pristella Tetras so much that I brought home another 5 to bring the total to 10 !!!  They school together very well and seem to enjoy the larger numbers so far.  The lone Lemon Tetra also hangs out with them and occasionally the 3 Von Rio Flame Tetras chill with them too.  Not the Black Phantoms though, the 2 females hang out together & the male chases them when they're near him.  I named him "Demon" because he doesn't seem to get along with anyone.
 
Hey Lovelies! Another long day today. And chilly again! We actually have Frost Advisories for some areas tonight. Spring just cannot get a good hold!

Ruskull....city water here. Params are holding right now so we will keep on chugging.

My Mollie who looked like a UBoat finally dropped. Nice tasty treat for the tank I believe as I have not found any swimmers. I have been really good about not *visiting* the LFS as I would surely come home with some new addition. lol Need to focus on my project here.

Hope everyone is well in the land of Lovelies!
 
Hey lovelies!  What a week!  Work has been hard for sure, & when I get home I've been busy repairing the ride on mower for the season.  Been taking care of my fishes anyway though, they're all doing well.  
 
I need a vacation................
 
Hey lovelies!

Went to a school play tonight with some friends! Talked, had a great time and saw some of mis chicas :)
 
Hey Lovelies!

My daughter brought home her cap and gown today for high school graduation in 4 weeks. 2nd one moving on to take on the world! :) One more to go...and she is graduating into high school in a few weeks. I am almost there. Love my girls!

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.... :) And then what will I do? I have no idea!! lol
 
Hey Lovelies!!!
 
Been getting up early so i can make up time at work..
 
 
The lil angel fish dies yesterday.. He wouldn't eat so I got some fish food on my return credit..
 
Sinking Skrimp pellets..
 
Happy Friday Lovelies!  I just fed my 36 gallon SE Asian tank and I noticed the wood has floated towards the top!  How annoying!!!
 
I must think of a creative way to keep it down.  I have a few ideas..............pondering them over a few beers as we speak.

Turn their rooms into fish havens... LOTS of space for new tanks!  :lol:
 
Hey Lovelies! 
 
Off to work here soon.  Trying to get used to 6 day work weeks as I several coming on.  Body is fighting it but the wallet is not!  lol 
 
Eagles!  Love that idea!  That gives me a couple of more years to gain some more experience and figure out a really nice tank/s set up.  I've already learned so much from on here and often times won't even post.  Just sit and read some of the topics so I know more. 
 
Man Of Fish...  Good for you!  I have a daughter who is allergic to exercise.  Well come to think of it.. she's at that age where she's allergic to everything!  lol  I would love to see her take up running or jogging.  Heck, I'd be happy with her just taking a nice walk every day. 
 
Fish are all holding their own.  Outside of water changes twice a week to hold PH levels, can't really complain there.  Talked to a neighbor that has had a tank for years and they mentioned that their PH always dips a bit this time of year too.  So we will just monitor and bide time. 
 
Hey lovelies!

After my run I went and hung out with some friends. We were going to play manhunt but it was raining so too wet. Instead we went swimming in a 50* F pool from 10-12 PM lol!
