The new stuff I ordered arrived yesterday. I also went to pets at home and bought some fake plants for the 2 new tanks and also 2 food bowls.
I set up the first of the 2 Hobby Artemia Breeders last night. I bought them to see if they work as they require no air lines or external lights so the electric bill will go down a lot as my other hatchery has the airline and light running 24/7 so is very wasteful.
I also bought one more of the 60x30x30 aquariums to out the big axolotl (now called big boy until it turns out to be a girl 😂) in as I am liking the depth of the tank for cleanup and feeding.
I am now going to use the big tanks as fish tanks for now or at least one of them and maybe use the other one for axolotls but keep the water levels lower. I am also not liking all of the wood and rocks in big boys tank as it also makes cleaning and feeding difficult.
I will put the rocks and wood in with the fish as they don't need so much cleaning up after or feeding by hand.
I am thinking when the axolotls get bigger I am going to get a couple of custom made tanks made that are 5ft x 2ft x 1ft to fill the shelves but also be easy to clean and feed the axolotl's. That will not be for a while yet so I don't need to worry about it for now.
I am taking the aquarium rack to the powder coaters this afternoon to get stripped and painted so that I can get the big tanks moved and sorted out.
Hopefully it will be ready early next week.
