Bad BAD NEWS!

Nice looking fish !
I hope the foam makes a difference with the tank also ..
My fish love music ...No joke I play all my old time favorites the whole time I am working in the fish room ..
Some vibrations are good ...

Look who paired up.
She was really creating some bad vibes in the tank.
A lot of aggression and stress on everyone.
Everyone except the red.

So, They are now residing in the QT tank.
Looks like I will be setting up another tank in my workshop office soon.
Probably fix the cracked acrylic 112 and use that. I have the perfect place for it.
I have in my mind how I will repair it now.

Well, You guys win...

As much as I like the looks of the BB tank when it is clean,
I am getting tired of it looking dirty the next day.
Seriously considering adding gravel to it tomorrow.

I added gravel to the shop tank and it is going quite well.
Fish don't really seem to like it any better, however, I don't have that mess to look at every day.
I know it is still there and I also know I probably cannot get as much of it out by vacuuming the gravel,
However, I look at the fish instead of the dirty tank bottom.

Again, I lOVE the way the BB looks, when it is clean.

Now, the tank with the breeding pair downstairs from Miranda...
That tank stays nice.
Some patches of green algae grows on it but Rob and the plecko pretty much take care of it.
It is a glass tank with a rim around the top and bottom.
(see the picture above)

Question to all you pros...
Should I put an under gravel filter in before adding the gravel?
Worked with those for YEARS.
I do have a great HOB filter and a mega-fied sponge filter.
Do they even sell UG filters anymore?
