... Also, picked up some nerites ...

Same here, at PetSmart in Silverdale. I'm getting a 40L quarantine/grow-out tank ready for a shipment of small
Xenotilapia sp. 'ochragenys ndole' that are arriving on Friday, and need some help with algae control. I have 7 wild-caught specimens of this Xeno, 4 males and 3 females, so I'm hoping to get more females to add to this colony. They are one of my favourites.

I haven’t used it yet but I got it built last night. I am going to build a second one with 1.25 that I have laying around but I needed a 3/4 that I could use on the acrylic 100g.

One down...

I want to see how you do the large pipe one. I think the fill into the tank would be pretty gentle with that.

Here’s the BIG ONE. I trimmed down the 2 90s that make the U by 3/8” each to close the gap down to 1.5”ish. It was over 2”. The trim on the 90g is about an inch. I will let the glue cure over night and then flush it out.

Did 60-70% water changes on one bank of tanks- two 55's and two 40L's- in preparation for a shipment of Tropheus and Xenotilapia that are arriving tomorrow. It's really nice when you don't have to go to the airport to pick up your fishes! :)

Moved the greenhouse and two tanks. Repositioned the stand into the corner to open up the floor space again.
Baby pleco!!! Not from mine :(

I moved the male BNP from the 100g into the 90g where I’m pretty sure I have a female BNP.
I also moved a bunch of ready danios into the square 10g in the corner. I will move them out tomorrow afternoon.

Did some glass scrubbing in the garage tanks, then water changes. Been pretty boring fish keeping as of late. Still waiting for the little fish to grow enough to move into the big tank. If I had the other 75 going I think I would split the growouts into two groups to give more room. Probably the hoga and 5 midas in one tank and the other with the potential keepers. Pretty sure the midas with white spot on head is a keeper along with the other Petsmart red devil. Then there is the the matter of 3 Sagittae to pick from.
