for the last few weeks I’ve been working on getting the condos (fish tanks), ready for the move from garden to house…

when the fish moved outdoors in the spring, I didn’t clean up the tanks, sigh…

so, it started with cleaning the tank that held the plants last winter… I’ve decided to use it for fish, as the fish were getting a bit crowded in the two tanks…

got it cleaned and then a few days went by before I faced the two big tanks…

had to use the wetvac to remove all the water from the big tanks and dump it down the toilet in small batches… that took quite a bit of time and effort…

next I had to scrub them both down… then I brought in the hose and filled all three tanks up… another slow process…

I had to purchase a pump for the newest tank… as I hooked them up, the biggest pump would not work…

finally, after numerous attempts, it started working and now all three tanks are running and cleaning the water…

it will be weeks before the fish move in, but the tanks will be ready for them…

the funniest thing is realizing how much noise they make, after being silent all summer…

whew;-)…
