that tank is what dreams are made of. Ideal tank, man a asian aro community would look awesome in there. But being american those blacks and that silver will still be very nice

Thanks for the kind words, I am truly happy with the outcome.
And trust me, if there was a way I could have an Asian Arrow, I'd have at least one. My favorite fish, and I can't even have one, especially after living in Atsugi, Japan for three years.
Thank you! Yes I did have a brief issue with the turtle and ray's the first week I got the turtle. He nipped at both of the rays tails, nothing serious though, and the tails grew back. Once he realized that its was not food, he never bothered them again. They have been together all most a year now. He would also nip on the few plastic plants, but again once he realizes its not food, they are fine. Great turtle, my kids love to feed him, takes food right out there hands so slow. To be honest I was surprise to see how he could even nip the rays tail, he eats so incredibly slow. lol .
Yeah, my FRT has devoured numerous fish, started when she was young. Everything from goldfish twice her size, to oscars, to a jaguar catfish. Right now there a couple large flag tails in with her and they are frequently missing parts of their tails and fins. Maybe it just depends on the turtle. I'm building a 1300 gallon pond so hopefully she will leave her tank mates alone, I have always wanted to try some rays with her.
Yes, I agree with you that it must depends on the turtle, plus I don't feed mine fish, he eats dried mango, algae waffers, and massiovore pellets mostly, and a worm or shrimp every now and again. I try to keep the fish taste out of his mouth. Plus when he nipped my rays that was in a 125 gallon tank with four 3'' indo dats three 6'' clown loach and never touched any of them. Now that they are in this larger tank he walks right on top of them and they don't budge.
Thank you, i am glad you enjoyed it. I know I got much pleasure and motivation from reading other build threads, so i thought id give back.Just read the entire thread, that tank is amazing fella! Top job
Thank you!
I finally completed my poormans drip system and it works like a charm. So simple yet so effective. Next, I am going to upgrade to a RTL spa filter. I have also add some picture of so members to the tank. I have taken a page from Aldiaz, I wonder if he will notice.
water line tapped in from master bathroom with shut off valve.
Filter guys canister carbon for chlorine removal, thank God I don't have chloramines.
That white connection, is a type regulator, that allow 375 gallon of water a week (5day), so no need for drip emmiters. complete packaged bought from filter guys, so simple. they have different gallonages.
water run into the tank through white 1/4 tube.
both sumps drilled and tied together with cutoff valve for maintenance if needed
both lines going out side to lawn
tube outside can be moved to water plants or trees.
