Well, good news, Mr. T. looks very comfortable and happy again. Eating well, his tail is coming back to normal. Still a bit faded, but that will take some time.
Water temperature is 25'C this morning, we're back in the hot and humid again.
Ph: 7.8 Salinity 0.9ppt.
Slowly adding a bit of salt this week to get it around 1 - 1.5 ppt.
Pond has really cleaned up, sucker fish are helping very well with this it seems.
Mostly the white color again, which brings up Mr. T's dark colours very nicely.
Repair was successful, now only seem to have some evaporation loss, which drops the level by 1 to 2 mm per day.
Turtles doing ok in their new home.
Given that all is back to normal, I'm going to close this thread and move back to the original pond-arapaima thread again.
Matt, Tom, special word of thanks to both of you for your help and knowledge. Really appreciate it, helped me a lot in getting Mr. T back to normal.
Cheers,
Luc
