Title: Water changes done........
Post by: Mugwump on April 07, 2014, 06:19:11 PM
...did the deep gravel clean on the tanks today, and big water changes at the same time....moved/separated some of the Koi/Sunset fry over to another tank...didn't even put a dent in the population... ;D....I'll have to move more...maybe two more tanks will be needed...?...lotsa fry there....of course, it set off some pairs, not sure about the cory's yet tho...but possibly them too...?

Now I need to clean the HOT mag's and set up the Diatom filters ;D

I need to come up with an efficient way to do them here.  My faucets won't connect to the python so I am with the going bucket brigade today.

Good thing I only have a couple of tanks up right now. I will have a few more going in a couple of weeks so I need to come up with a better plan. :o ???

If they're threaded, you can get an adapter to put on when doing water changes...

They are not threaded. That was the first thing I checked.  There's always the shower head.  I can take that off and attach a hose there.  For now it was not bad. ;D

QuoteThere's always the shower head.

There are things sold (Home Depot, Lowes; shower department) for showers that allow you to have a branched and valved connector between the source of water and the shower head. We did this when we had babies and had a large low pressure shower head on a flexible hose. We could switch between the normal shower hear and the hose. These are easy to install.

Thanks for that info Bill.  I think think I'll do something along those lines and then it problem solved.  LOL  ;D ;D ;D
