Thank you for your reply. Do you have any suggestions on getting oxygen in the aquarium? I was thinkig about drilling a hole in my return fitting at the tip of the J pipe and putting in air line tubing with a one way flow adapter. Hopefully making a venturi siphon for air.

Hey guys, I have been preparing this 200 gallon aquarium for a 18" arowana I have waiting at my LFS. I have the aquarium completely cycled now and am just making sure I have everything perfect so I can pick him up next week. I have done a lot of research and I realize I may need to get a...

I have used GE SCS 1203 (black) silicone while resealing my 150gal and my 200gal. I have had them running for about 6 and 11 months now without an issue. They come in tubes and it took me roughly 1.5 tubes for the 150gal and 1.75 tubes for the 200gal "I do put mine on a little thick and let it...

The extra water line I was talking about would come strait from the Overflow box to the refugium but I don't believe it is necessary. I have 2 1" drain lines coming down to the wet dry/refugium. The return pump I have is rated for 12000L/hr so I think it should be more than enough. If I am wrong...

FAT Daddy. Thank you for your response. I was planing on using this 75 gal sump because it came with the 210 and the stand along with double overflow box and a few other things. Your idea sounds very good and I will look into implementing it. In the mean time is there anything I can do to make...

This is my plan for a 75 gallon sump filter w/ refugium for my 210 gallon Arowana tank. Do I need to have a seperate line running water directly from the display to the refugium? The intake I have now is 1" and it is a double siphon overflow. I would reduce the pvc to 1/2" for the pipe leading...

Ok thank you both for the info. I will see what I can do to improve their water.

While doing my weekly water change I discovered one of my red Severum had pea sized cysts or growths at the base of BOTH pectoral fins. I have searched google for hours now trying to find out how to treat this or what it even is. The Severum acts normal, he isn't breathing heavy or quickly. Its...

I went to feed my pair of Convict's this morning and I found the female in this condition. This had to of happened sometime within the past 8 hrs when I was asleep because she was fine when I went to bed. Its odd because the lesions are on both sides of her body in the exact same place and...

I am going to see the aquarium this weekend so I don't know much about it unfortunately. I'm not going to lie. Disassembling a 220 gallon is a bit intimidating to me. Is there a post on this site that explains the procedures of disassembly?

How do you if an aquarium need "simply" a full reseal or it needs to be completely disassembled ( glass apart ) and re siliconed completely? I am buying a 220 gallon off craigslist which is roughly and hour away. The sellers have been upfront and said it had a leak which is why I am...

I have read all the forums on this and I just cant tell what is what. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. Had these 3 for about 5 months and they are between 3" & 4" the bigger of the tree always eats first and seams to be in charge so I am guessing it is the alpha male? The littler two...

Gourami Swami I am not dead set on an Arowana, I would like one of course but that is why I posted this question. I have no desire to keep a fish that I cant make comfortable. There are other fish I will try instead.

Follow up question. I am purchasing another aquarium next week. Its 84x25x28 will that be big enough? I see that members are bouncing back and forth between 24" & 30" being the minimum for Arowanas.

I don't know the turn radius of an Arowana. It may be just fine with 18" and it may not. That is why I posted. But thank you for your response.

I just finished cycling a new aquarium and I am about ready to start stocking it. I am hooping to get Arowana but the tank is kind of an irregular size and I was hoping for some input from folks who have experience with the fish to see if it will be a environment for the fish. The tank is an...

That's good info What do you suggest I use as filtration instead?

Is there any advantages or disadvantages to having a taller tank as opposed to wider? I have only had the wider tanks. Plus Im 5'9" so that could be difficult LOL

I have many freshwater set-ups but, this will be my first saltwater tank. I don't know a lot about the equipment and its cost so I will rely on your opinions please. Is this setup and accessories worth $250? I am first in line this evening to come look at it and decide if I want to purchase it...

Im in Topeka Kansas. Your welcome to the JD if you can get here. If anyone needs some convicts please let me know.
