    On the glass and floating in the tank. I guess we will see when the cycle is done if they survive.

    The tank might have finished it's cycle. the readings today are

    0 ammonia

    0 nitrite

    0 nitrate

    I'll see how it goes for a few days then i will transfer my 65 over if it stays at 0.

    So hows the temp in the tank been doing, the outside temp here is in the upper 90's and heat index in the 100's so your outside temp is probably come up a bit since you were having temp issues, still doing ok? Been running the MH lights any?

    Make sure to take pics when you start transferring, you know the rule, take a few pics and then take some more...lol.

    It has been getting over 100 here and with everything running including the MH lights it has stayed at 80 deg with two fans blowing on the water. I am going to add a 3rd fan blowing on the sump and that shoul make it stay below 80.

    I have set the fish trap up hoping to get them use to it before I try to catch them. But I am sure I will just take the rock out and get them that way. I just wanted to be a fisherman.

    Pics are going to be posted as soon as I get rolling!

    Well I guess my tank was "born" today. I transferred the live stock from the 65 over to the 240 today. Everything went well. As expect most of the fish are hiding. I am not turning the lights on until tomorrow so I will take some pictures or video then.
