So after a couple of weeks of work I have a new home for my Jardini ,
the tank was originally a marine display at a local Lfs ,but with new owners and poor knowledge the tank went into disarray . So I bought a empty cracked project .
The dimensions of the main tank are 2m. X 1.5m x35 water height
The sump is 1.5m x 60cm x 35 water height
So I have a total of 1360 l of water with the display of close 1050 liters .

Tank was repaired , stand was straightened and repainted ,cabinets were repaired
The display tank has a 5000 lph pump feeding from the sump and is then dispersed via spray bar just below the surface to create slow water conditions , then at. Intervals during the day I have 12000lph wave maker going on a timer to stir up debris and push the river flow . There is minimal sand and drift wood in the display just to keep the other inhabitants alive at night .
The project still has a lot of work .but here's a few pics so long .

Thanks. In the 3 years plus I've had her , she has always been in open tanks with no lights and so far she has never jumped
Unless to knock cricket containers out of my hand before feeding time . So all she does now if startled is swim to the other side of the tank . People who come to my house already now that they must approach the tank slowly and no touch policy or they find themselves kicked out. So let's hope things stay the same and besides covering this tank with lights and hoods would be senseless and take away from it all together.

Thanks
Any one have any experience with freshwater golden archers they come from the same biotope as Jardinis and have heard from family in Oz that they are normally seen quite close to each other ?
I remember from past exp that the archers were way to fast for my sliver aro before I put them in there own brackish tank.
