Water changes
All week I take out anywhere from 10 to 20 gallons every night when I vacuum the tank out but on Sundays they get to lay on their sides during this water change. I did try measuring one of them without too much success. Its around 3.5 roughly. Its hard to measure this way. next time I will remove the biggest one and get a better measurement. With the heavier feedings the tds read 203 this morning. Even with all the water changes they still don't like them. Current tds reading is 173. Tds reading right out of tap is 161. I don't know if prime affects this reading at all. Now I have my water storrage bin for this tank and will check the tds after it sits in there a day.
Heres a few pics during the water change.
