125 gallon clean out

Post by JeffCrab » Sat Jul 10, 2021 4:18 pm

Did my semi-annual clean out of the 125 gallon today and took some pics of the updated look. I added some moss backgrounds which really complete the look. I finally gave up on shower caddy moss pits. I can’t stand trying to reattach them to the tank walls 3 times a day Image

What a beautiful tank! Must be some very happy hermits living in there, how many do you have inside.

Thank you! We have 9 in the tank.

The water has an underwater filter, so thankfully maintaining the 5 gallon tanks are quite easy and manageable.

BTW - Something I learned on tik tok with suction cups - make sure completely clean - nothing on them or the surface they are going on. Put a little bit of vaseline on them and viola - they stick like magic. Works like a charm!

Looks awesome. I really need to clean out my tank again, it could really use some TLC.
