    Building My 1600 and Basement Setup

    Thanks man. I am going to use acrylic just because I already have it ,but I'm not sure what I'm going to use to seal the tank with as acrylic doesn't seem to stick to anything. Thought about using Zavlar for the tank but I'm not sure what to use to seal the acrylic window. Any thoughts? I've...

    Building My 1600 and Basement Setup

    It looks like you sealed all of the joints first and then sealed the plywood in 3 steps. Would you mind sharing how the process worked and what products you used? Did you use glass or acrylic windows? My 3 year plan includes building a new house with a 18x3x3 in-wall tank with 2 8ft windows...

    B1 and B12 supplements

    Boyd Vita Chem is a supplement that I used to inject Superworms. Just stick the worms in the freezer for a minute or 2 prior to feeding so they don't wriggle so much and then inject them with vita chem. They blow up like a balloon , my kids loved it. You can also soak your MP or fish in it.

    BDL PICS

    I enjoy the fact the males stay relatively small. My bigger one is at 13" and smaller one about 11. Maybe its because they don't get live or frozen, only pellets and only fed every second day??? I'm not a big fan of pumping up any fish nor do I enjoy a cloudy tank from overfeeding. Some people...

    FOR THOSE USING AUTO DRIP WC UNITS

    Mine runs 2 tanks and totals 550 gallons and I'm changing about 75 gallons/day. I haven't checked my nitrates in over a year. I never got a reading over 20 for a long time so I just quit testing. Next time I'm home I'll check again.

    Aro not eating

    Check your water parameters, arowanas will stop eating if water quality drops. Too much traffic around the tank will also cause the aro to stop eating. If aro is jumpy and darts around the tank it could be uncomfortable. Is there a background on the tank? Tankmates? If he ate a lot over the last...

    Algae Magnet

    I just ordered a couple of these too. I hope they work as good as you guys claim. I found the mag floats were either under powered or way over powered , to the point you had to put your whole body in it to move it.

    Jumbo Loach

    I have had some loaches since 2003 and they are only about 7-8". A loach this size is a rare and impressive creature. I will have to upgrade my tank if they ever get that big. I have 17 loaches. What a bio-load that would be at 15" ea.

    GOURAMI TO GIVE AWAY

    Gourami is gone.

    SR AND XB

    I removed the giant gourami from the xb tank and put it with the SR. Epic fail! Had to make an emergency run to Petland and drop off the gourami while he still had fins left. I added the female XB with the male and that too ,was an epic fail. I think she is too small right now and the male is...

    SR AND XB

    Exactly Chen. Found one already paired. I understand that there is a great risk since both aros already have partners, but its worth a shot.

    SR AND XB

    They are in seperate tanks. No other arowanas but they are community tanks. They rule their tanks though. I think I found a female for my xb so I'm gonna see if she'll pair with him. I'm sick of watching him try to mate with the giant gourami.

    SR AND XB

    He is one of my favorite fish. His only fault is his tail is not, fully, red. He jumped out of the tank when he was 14" and spent 5 min flopping on the floor until my wife decided to investigate the noise and put him back. Its a constant reminder to close the lid. I could knock him out and cut...
