as per subject. who here does not use water ager in massey? Thanks

Yes indeed! However, I do ot trust my own DIY skills - so i have comissioned a steel frame stand to ensure I do not screw it up

could be good if aqua one actually sold this in bulk.

Install this sunday - so will watch it closely to ensure it all works as intended. Then you can pick up controller:D

electric box is almost done. just waiting for one more relay.

yeah, or having a sports car at that. SMoking etc. so not so bad:D let me know how poret goes with clarity, i am having clarity issues right now, i think my poret in the internal box is too coarse!

nice!

they take a while to get settled, blacking out back and sides is important but , I always find the ones in the lfs that isn't so skittish before buying.

goldfish food is generally designed for cold water environments. but in saying that, you will notice little differences in the composition of goldfish food and tropical fish food. tropical fish can also be vege eaters.

love royals just before selling up and moving to inlaws, I had a school of 7 royals, but ph crash killed most of them:( learnt my lesson, invested in a ph controller and calibrate it fortnightly with a test of water and test kit to make sure they arein sync I don't foresee any issues from now. cos brutus does not like any mid predators, there goes my predator comm idea, so focus is back on plecos:D

is that titanic? yes, he would have!

yeah I must say it does! does not look as impressive as I hoped :slfg: but he is an active one, not shy at all, eating already after 3 hours of intro. will become more active as more plecos get introduced. I think a bottom dweller focus is my direction - as it was where I left off before moving.

stocking so far: 1x aro 1x sailfin 1x red sev 1x tilfoil 3x large silver dollars 1x texas 2x suncats 1x jag 2x parrots 1x midas 14 total Proposed additions: Removing jag 2 to 3 royal plecos 1 to 2 cactus 2 blu phantoms 1 to 2 x tinfoils 3 silver dollars 1x banded leporanus 1x choc cat 1 - 2 synodontis 1x cigar shark 2x ornates MAYBES: Fire eel Dat - one small one to grow up in the tank maybe the aro will leave it alone ck - weary the aro will dislike it

haha pacu is tempting, however, my last pacu years ago ate my heater (literally) and ate 2 30cm plecos heads) chewed them right off! so, sufficed to say i am reluctant to have a pacu BUt i willtake you up on that offer for your tinfoil barbs IF you are definitely getting rid of them. because i was gonna add one or 2 more anyways, but can hold out until yours is av ailable. when do you anticipate that? not sure about a school of tinfoils, but definitely 2 to 3 total. i was thinking of adding 3 more silver dollars for schooling effrect, there is 3 in there right now, and maybe 1 mor silver shark (1 in there righyt now) and a cigar shark . cant have predators, the aro is way too agro, had to get rid of my oscars, and gotta move jag too! which is a shame cos duncans jag is spectacular!

i would get rid of your silver and sell it now before it deforms itself in the small tank. when you keep arowanas in small tanks, they get deformed, fins dont look as nice etc so you would get less for them if you try to sell it then . your 200L is just enough to house a small arowana, 25cm is the max i would put in the 200L. ultimately 1k litre is minimum, silver arowanas too get bigger and they get longer than most arowanas - requiring bigger space.

I am sure south america has asians....

I keep telling you, stop mucking around and call these guys http://www.dreamfish.com.sg/arowana01.php :bounce:

wow very elegant

focusing on mid swimming fish, predators right now. bottom dwellers doesnt seem to quell brutus' aggression. so i am trying to put more mid fish to confuse him, he is settling down now. but want the other fish to feed from the top freely

its something i still am not used to!! because of low light, the aro almost dispapears at the back, then suddenly you see this head start to come toward you. must say, i am emjoying it! except the aro is agro... needs to calm down!

Full tank shot now that the 'spectacular piece of wood' is in

transfered mine few days ago to new tank. havent seen them out in months. didnt even know they feed lol well i feed at lights out. the one has grown substantially. seem to be slow growers

that ia awesome! huge! i guess in moderation i dont do it anymore cos i figured, i didnt spend the money on brutus to feed beef heart lol like buying a sports car and using 91 i suppose. but, if i had a jar, green i probably would occasionally. also mealworms can be gutloaded with pellets very easily so that is my main thing

True that:D moderation i suppose :ton: but i dont feed beef anymore though.
