I spent a TON of money making sure the pool was ready before I put water in and fish etc... I even had fish "experts" come help me with the pool. It was a disaster. The pool coating cracked after a month and the fish were getting sick, they had white spots all over them. Thankfully I have a friend who has a 1000g tank. I put all my rays into the tank. Treated them and sold them to good homes. WILL NEVER Do THAT AGAIN!!!
