Journal 75P - Journey Into High Tech

Thank you 3! I didn't elaborate, but I do want the container approved for potable water storage. I like the idea that if I'm storing 100 gallons of water, it could be consumed in an emergency (and I'm sure it's better for the fish). And like @JayP mentioned, the cost of simple 55 gallon drums is appealing. Worst case, I think I could get away with one of the large round storage options, but a rectangular one would be much simpler to conceal.

Full Tank Shot


I had a huge clump of Rotalla uproot again this week. I decided I'd only keep a few stems, which I've replanted. Not certain what caused the uproot 2 weeks in a row, so I'm hoping by planting the stems individually, that'll increase the odds they stay down.

Cleaned off some of the anubias leaves with a brush, they look better, but man is challenging to get in there with the brush and put pressure on the back of the leave at the same time. I need to get like a dog finger brush or something.

My BIL was over this weekend, so he helped me design and 3d print a plug for the lid opening where I speculate the Killifish escaped.




Still debating if I need one for the lilly pipe area or not. I would think yes, I'm a bit hesitant.

More fish are coming this week, so that's always fun!

Still debating the long term water storage setup. I found this RV water storage, but I'm not certain I could get any pumps and heater into it. It seems like it's closed and mostly designed for storage. I guess I could make holes and things, but it may end up being easier to just get a round water storage container.
