With the tube worm see how there is two of them in there? Well last week or the week before one of it closed up and I didn't see it for a whole week. I thought maybe its not liking my tank or my fish tried to eat it.
Then just few days ago a small baby one has come out and it looks bigger and darker. Looks incredible. Will try and get a pic.
So spent 2 hours yesterday cleaning my sump and draining all the water out. Thought might as well do a big water change and clean all the crap in there.
Since my sump wasn't designed properly like I asked 3 years ago I have been keeping my skimmer on a plastic container which has trapped a lot of stuff underneath it. So spent a long time cleaning it all out yesterday.
Im about to go to York Precision Plastics and pick up some egg crate and build a stand for the skimmer :) Also purchased a new return pump (just one from guppies) so hopefully that arrives tomorrow.
Oh and when I was cleaning the sump out I had a look at one of my heaters (pro aqua) and went to clean it and noticed black grease up near the dials. I went to rub it with my fingers and it just wouldn't come off!!!!!!!!!!!!! I washed my hands atleast 10 times and its only 1/4 of washed out and it smells sooooooooooooooo bad!!! I felt like vomiting after smelling that. No idea what the black grease stuff was but no doubt its bad for the tank. So off to buy a good heater today.
I still got a bit of that grease on my finger. Even after two showers and scrubbing it like crazy there is still a little bit left on my fingers.
So I highly suggest you all check your heathers every now and then.
On other news..
I purchased an 1000L IBC from adam (Aquarium Excellence) last week. Must say awesome service and very helpful person. Thanks once again adam.
So in the process of building a stand for the IBC as its hard getting water out from the tap at the bottom. Also big thanks to my neighbor with helping with the stand.
Some progress pics:
Also if anyone wants some water come over. $3 bucks per container (20L).
Bring a small pump and hose if possible.
