Day 238 continued

This is the 65gal. hex that I'm got for the paint work I'm doing, I worked on this tank(rubbing out acrylic) one year ago,  still have to pick up 55gal.
In June of 2009 I set up a pond(350gal.) in my basement. It had a homemade 5gal. bucket filter(floss,charcoal,bioballs), with 2-3 powerheads pumping into it. This was used to accommodate the large fish I was getting. This was before I got the 380gal. tank. I wrote down a log of the pond at the time, I will rewrite  the log. On Jan. 17, 2010 I shut down the pond and moved all fish to 380gal. tank. The log ends July 11, 2010. Here is what I wrote.
