Finally my 2 custom tanks had arrived!!!

[Sidrock]

Question 1:
I had thought long and hard for a duplex setup like that. I could not figure out where to put the filtration (canisters and/or sumps).

How have you managed filtration for those two tanks?

Question 2:
I strongly believe any attempts to "control" the natural growth-rate of a fish lead to health issues. Trying to slow the grow-rate will mean a stunted fish.

Is my understanding incorrect? Can you point me to some good reference of how to slow down the growth-rate of a fish like a Pima (or a Aligator Gar) in a way which doesn't cause stunting?

Also: You guys in Singapore are some of the luckiest aquarist of the world given the variety of fish available to you.

Thank you,

1)My top tank is running on overhead filtration,2nd tank below is running on canister.

2)My pima or gars are in very good shape even i don't feed them every day,pima are very good eater(greedy) and a very fast growing species.I don't really do much,i just make sure their water are in tip top condition.I don't feel it every day but i don't starve it,i make sure once a week i will feed it well.Till now it works for me (from last year March till now,from a 4inch plus to now a 16inch) facts are still facts,no matter how you control they will still be able to grow till a monster size but till that day arrived i will have a pond ready for it

Cause I heard some bros over at arofan claiming the HDB floor or below neighbour's roof start cracking.
Dunnoe true or not, but enough to set me on panic mode

Hahaha...perhaps old flats??But till now no problem for me no neighbors of mine came to be and told me my fish are swimming in their dinner plates wahahaha...... just kidding,no worries lah if 2x8ft then i think u should start worrying
