Here is my mess from the other day as I started to nuke my tank and rebuild it.

I took out all of the stones, substrate, water,refilled, and added two gallons of white vinegar.
Here is my mess!

And I have one more guy who will join them after being treated for several weeks in qt to make sure he is clean of all parasites and pathogens. He won't arrive until next week. By then my three should be back in the tank. I can use their qt for this guy..or girl..

So glad that Van is healing, and that the company of friends seems to have perked him up. Your new guys is beautiful!

I am not a big gold fish person myself, Though we do have a pond with Several good sized guys. It looks pretty pathetic right now having just come out of hibernation, but hopefully once spring has sprung and we get some good green going on and some cleaner water (We had unusual deep long freezes this year that totally destroyed all my pond plants, Have to wait a bit to get new ones) I will post a picture of ours. Though it will be no where near as pretty as your guys!

Hello, thanks for asking :hug8:
Vann is doing well, healing.. He is on metronidazole and nitrofurazone in quarantine until Monday. Then he can be in plain water after that, but I think I may keep him in QT until the wound is as healed as it is going to be. This morning I put Charlie, Moby, and the cats in the 90 gallon. They are probably wondering where the plants they loved to hack on have gone? When I fed them you could hear the marbles being knocked around..lol. Today I will be getting some beneficial bacteria to add to the tank, to give it a kick on it's cycle. I will work on pics soon, can't say I will have time today but would rather wait for the reveal when it is complete. I have a few more things to add, including a new airpump and a couple airstones.
