Even though I haven't been fishing in a while I have been keeping busy with my fish tank by completing a full renovation for it.
Original Tank

First I started off by removing all of the rocks, and decorations.

There was a lot of junk that remained.

After that I removed the fish and plant and placed them in a holding tank until the tank was ready.

We then began to siphon the tank.

My brother began to get tired of holding the pipe so we found a hack!

After that I took the tank outside and did a full scrub down so that it would sparkle.
I added the gravel filled the water up, added some treatment and waited 2 days for everything to settle in.
After the 2 days the fish were ready to go home.
I added the fish, they seemed to like it. I also bought some live plants and planted them.
Sadly some of the fish were diseased, so to prevent them from reproducing and sharing it with their young I had to kill the sick ones off
I bought many new fish and have been adding new things every day.
