I am a builder so building something strong and pretty is very easy for me, but building water proof is a challenge for me but I did make it happen. this is like mike twince everything is exact the same even fish, the only different is that he have red aro and Mike have gold, oh and a big fat lazy loaches.

With the lack of time due to work like many of us, to have guys like you in Ontario that can setup a tank like that would be awesome! Off course not that we can't ourselves but timing or lack of is beneficial to others !

Since my monster build start, I haven't got time to do anything myself, but as long as it keeps raining in BC then I don't mind busy as I will get bored with the raining weather anyway.

2 new pics. excuse the poor pics from my phone.

plumbing almost done and water blasters in place. had a minor set back. one of the bulkheads lost thread and has to be replaced. besides that, tank should be operational by the weekend.

need like 8 more aro in there :).

haha. 1s enough! its only a 7x3. i don't think an aro comm will be ok in a tank of this dimension for life. however, there are plans for a black diamond pair to finish up the stocking!

here is a video. water is a bit cloudy since we were moving media around in the sump. should clear up in a few days time.

Arowana is still the same, RED. He now has a pair of breeding black diamond stingrays, another pair of their offsprings, 2 super red severums and a sidebar datnoid.

I'll try to get more pictures soon.
