First monster in the new 750 gallon!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
this is a reaaally interesting thread....if you ya kno what i mean...
 
whelp before your head gets to big I'm going throw some change in this.

hmmm i cant agree with you there, you can cycle a tank in many ways without going about it the old try and true method.

So I'm going give ya the iv been keeping fish for over 20 years as well and i have setup many tanks and had fish in them the same day by stealing bio from other tanks. weather it be gravel, water, filters, fish etc and have NEVER lost a fish so go ahead say its wrong.. sure isn't wrong to any of my fish as there still kicking and spawning for me all the time.


i also think being condescending towards members just makes ya look like a arse and sooner or later nobody is going to give a crap what your opinion is, 20 years 30 years or 1 year were always going to be still learning, when ya think your a master at your own hobby is when its going to bite ya in the azz.

How about instead of *****ing at a member about what they may or may not being doing right or wrong you just sit back and give them constructive criticism??.

I'm also going to say this. you say 20 years in this hobby means nothing? well doesn't mean a damn thing that ya got 1 post of 5000 posts doesn't make you a expert.

I have to agree with jay i don't recall seeing any ware he asked for your cycling opinion

and ya didn't ask for mine either but i really don't care. seeing you don't care about the other members here, and do not take the time to think before you type.


BUT back to jay..

I think you will be quite happy with small gravel and river rock. and maybe a nice show chunk of DW :thumbsup:

keep us updated! :D

Yeah, well said Joe. He's just young and thinks he knows everything- teenagers. I think I am going with what you said- small gravel and river rock and some pieces of driftwood. Should have it in this weekend. I'll post some pics when I get it in and cleared up.

Blackwitmoney- I misstyped on my earlier post. I want to put some large catfish in the tank. I am thinking a large Lince cat, dorado cat, niger cat. I currently have a 12" tigrinus cat, 8" nigricauda cat, and a 5" albino ompok. All of which will end up in there sooner or later. I also have one chain-link motoro ray, which will go in too. I want to get another and try breeding them and am also trying to track down a leo.

wow! leos... those really are great looking rays!!! :D
 
Well done on the new tank.
Sounds like you have a great stock of fish to go in there.
Just my opinion but I would leave out the pima, you know how big they get! What would you do with it after it is too big? Saying that they do taste good!

Good luck with it, I hope it goes well and you post loads of pics!!!:grinyes:
