240 Gallon Build thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Here comes the bad news of the build :(

I believe the fx6 motor is burned out, or stuck? Can get it to work.

So what I have decided to do is sell it off and run the two aquatops on one side of the tank and have a sump on the other side

Well I feel like an idiot right now. Took the motor apart cleaned it out and now it works fine. I will still be doing the sump and 2 canisters as it will save me $160+ in the build
 
Well stand is almost done. Just need to wrap it in plywood and add finishing.

Stand height is 34"

Total cost for stand so far.. $70 cad

Wanting to grow out a Ray, need some schooling fish for bottom, I was thinking pictus catfish, but they may get eaten?

Also looking for suggestions for some top water "monster fish, could be schooling or non schooling

If you really want to grow out a ray I would avoid aggressive feeders like pictus. They make it hard for young rays to eat. I prefer geos. Tapajo are small and usually easy to find.

Not really a fan of cichlids, but I may give them a chance.

Would FeatherFin catfish work? Or too aggressive feeders?

I'm the wrong guy to ask regarding catfish. I just know a bit about pictus. Larger rafaels may work too if you can manage to find one.
