laughter iis something that is easy to share sam my pockets aren't big enough for an elephant out of all the animals i have worked with an elephant was probably the tops they could be so nasty and destructive yet so insecure and gentle one of jumbos handlers years ago was drunk and crawled into her trailer and fell asleep she wouldn't let anyone near him to wake him up so he had the hosed turned on him to wake him up

i would use cool store walls again but line the inside with marineply and then fibreglass still use 4x4 framing for strength ontop of fibreglass i have 3 coars of water tank paint to ensure water tightness, it was cheaper than epoxy paint most costly part is the glass, that is why i used 15mm acrylic i have 2 x 200 litres of pumice rock for the sump if i go that way

pachyderns doos $5.00 a bag do not apply directly to roses could have road apple tossing might be more pc than dwarf tossing i used to be accurate with a 3 pronged hay pitchfork up to about 70 metres with a road apple going up the auckland motorway one day riding on the back of the elephant truck a car load of hoons started yelling abuse windscreen wipers are not good at moving about 30kgs of road apples

part of the cost maybe for waste management

i would do thigs differently and not listen to the so called experts ie the tank going to be inside or outside and does it need to be movable?

5 dollars a bucket and ten dollars for the photo

that is a long holding period

yes i run the same on the eel pool

depending on size about 4 bales of hay a day, 20 cabbages, 10 to 20 loaves of bread we did deals with farmers and food store chains

taken in napier too many years ago :oops: had to handraise 3 lion cubs when mum wouldn't feed them i had them on a lactating bitch for a week but they were too stroppy on the nipple

any thoughts on filtration?

already got the big bichirs the price of big dats doesn't do it for me

no between 20 to 50 a day the spin doctors are at play

4 silver aros, 1 scleropages jardini, 1 giant gourami, 1 oscar, 1 catfish (panzer), 1 pangasius and maybe 2 large ornates have another 2 aros out on loan that will come back one day just running a aquaone 2400 at the moment with 2 large powerheads for more water movement have another 2400 to put on when i move fish have a spa pool filter off the eel pool i may try or 3 metres of sump full of pumice may be an option with biggest pondmaster on it still undecided but may play it by ear

making the lid at the moment lighting will be fun

bigger is not always better oh grasshopper

so cool its frozen solid:D

need to move the breeding tanks and start putting some decor in it have some big driftwood soaking in the eeel pool

worst bit was me putting lars in the tank :oops:

breaking news just need to have it confirmed think a legal battle has gone on over the elephants ownership

i have seen canaries end up as turtle tucker when going for a drink but it was in a smaller enclosure i run waxeyes in ours no problems nice enclosure, the perfect home

that goes in the week after

Mystic did the big road trip and brought me up 2 new fish i have waited til they settled in before posting pics, you never know when moving large aros what will happen Lars the silver Aro panzer is harder to take pic of as never have camera when he is out lars again moving all the large fish into new tank next week 3 silvers, 1 Jardini, catfish(panzer). Oscar and Giant Gourami maybe big ornates too
