[Fai]

Guys .. hear you all .. the 300G should have been there a already .. had to move it around due to foundation readyness .. anyways .. am very upset the Aro did not get to enjoy the larger house.

I waited 5 months for a custom tank with starfire glass. ***** happens. Work,family,a life. As long as u were getting it done it's kool. Rather then some lfs i see that have full grown aros and rays I'n a 180 and i been goin there for a lil over 2 years still I'n the same tank.

Love the tile. I would have rotated them 45 degrees. Oh, yeah, tank too small. Those lids would need locks on them. They could never stop a 23 inch aro.

Thanks exwp; got them from Mexico. We did not lock the lids .. but had plans to put weight on it which we missed before leaving and kicking ourselves ffor it. Lessons Learned.

yea when my silver arowana jumped out my friends dad told him that he came home with another one
are you going to replace him?

Yeah Linh903; we plan to replace him with another; get a baby and start all over again.

Bderick67 .. did not ignore the warnings .. tool action on getting the 300G .. took a while to get it set it up.

What? You did not ignore the warnings? The aro jumped out twice and knocked the lids off the tank another time, those are the warnings. Your aro died from jumping out of the tank. YOU FAILED TO TAKE THESE WARNINGS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Learn to read I never stated a word about your other deficiencies.

Actions were taken; however tanks don't get setup like cooking popcorn in a microwave ..

Exactly. You should've had it setup long before it even hit 12" which a good 3ish months prior to now. You should've either started out in a bigger tank or stayed committed to getting the tank set up on time. This accident probably wouldn't have occured had it been moved to a bigger tank already.
