Day 382

Arowana and tank mates doing well in tank#22, did 10% water change today. pH held steady and so did temperature. Cleaned out Fluval filter from Jimmy's on this tank as well. Keeping a log on this tank, to ensure water quality for Arowana.Water changes 25% in tanks#3 and #5 today.

Day 381

Reset the Fluval filter on tank#22. Drilled my first hole in top of acrylic tank#22, for sump return line. Helped Errin out with some equipment he needed, thanks for the brew. Water change, 25%, in tanks #11 and #20, this was done 7 days ago. Changed prefilter material in tank#11also.

Day 378 continued

Largest of the Black Nasty fry was attacked last night in 135gal., died of his injuries.R.I.P. Only one Black Nasty cichlid left. Acrylic tank#22, set up 4 hours ago, still good. No problems. I may ask Jimmy to let me use filter or take filter media from his tank, for a smooth transition, and easy transfer of fish. Pick up fish 10:30am tomorrow. pH 7.1 after 5 hours, thats good. 7.3 after 8 hours, and holding. Added bioballs from filter of 380gal.

Day 376 & 378

Finished! Temporary home for Jimmy"s fish, pick up tomorrow.

Day 378, more building.

Still getting fish from Jimmy, 388gal. might not be ready in time. 380gal.(tank#11) is to overstocked. My backup plan is to set up 150gal.(tank#22), it's 84"x24"x18", acrylic. No stand, so I'm going to build one. This is temporary, until 388gal. is finished. This gives me a chance to get water conditions just right. I will post more pictures as I build.

Day 375

Tank #11, 380gal.

Transfer of a Arowana

Year round pond.

Day 374

 Twenty five percent water changes only in tanks#7 and #8, #11 and #20. This was done 10 days ago. My buddy Jimmy can't get rid of four of his fish, going to try and finish 388gal. for these fish. Arowana, RTC,Clown Knife, and an Oscar. These were originally housed with my two largest Pacu, that I got from Jimmy. Arowana makes me nervous, hard to move. They don't accommodate well to moves, very water sensitive to pH and water hardness and temp. Testing my water now, will test Jimmy's water before move. I will update with pictures when it goes down!

Day 373

 Twenty five percent water changes only on tanks#12-#18, 9 days ago is when it was done last.

Day 372

Tank#19, cleaned to day, water change and filter cleaned.

Day 371

Picked up a 5" Bala Shark today, very healthy fish. Decoration also, he went into 135gal. In the second picture he is on the right. Thank you for the fish and equipment!

This is a picture of an Iridescent Shark I picked up months ago, he was 9", now after being in 380gal. his size is about 18"! Thanks again, great addition to my tank!

Picked up a coralife T5 light for Rob, to fix and use. All else good.
