Well this month has been rough. The water safe painted membrane got compromised so had to empty the tank and re-coat it. Re did whole tank in black gel-coat then painted over that with blue pool paint. Changed the color from the tank originally was black. I like it blue so far looks brighter. In doing so with fish sitting in a blow up kiddie pool i have managed to loose 6 fish total. Including my big blue channel cat my beasty. Lost them do to my goof up. It took me three days to fill the tank completely didnt want to do it all at once and burn up the well pump with that amount of water and to try to keep water temp consistent. I transferred fish back to tank as the water in the kiddie pool i had them in while tank was tore down was getting pretty nasty. I added air stone but must have kinked the line as i move electrical cords around and i went to bed. Woke up next morning to the catastrophe. I was heart broke. Big blue gone, Albino oscar, blood parrot, malawi cichlid, and two lephrinus gone. :cry::cry::cry::cry: Have the tank all up and running as of friday and everyone seem so be doing well that is left.

Man sorry ya lost fish.

Every time I see a tank like this I realize how small mine is.

Looks like it's coming together nice. Hope to see pix of it up and stocked again.
ya going for another catfish? If so will you grow him out or look for one of considerable size?
