Fish Room Build Thread

More bits and pieces. I’ve figured out I’m missing at least one package with the Amazonian background so I need to try to locate that box. Hopefully it’s still in Sweden.

I’ve also started to seed additional filter since I need to get temporary tanks setup and order the fish due to the air freight and temperature issues. I’ll have to order, pay and get it shipped during the next 4-5 weeks.

Well I located the last box, it’s on it’s way back to Serbia. ****ing Swedish Postal Service?? Apparently when they didn’t get my cell number their system didn’t print a notice and I just got the reminder which I received after due date. It’s not surprising they are showing constant losses in their results year after year. Idiots.

All cred to AquaDecor though, they offered to pay the additional freight free of charge. Stellar company to do business with.

Sorry to hear it got shipped back but glad to hear the vendor will ship it back for free.

Yeah hopefully it won’t slow this down to much but now I need to step it up with the grow out tanks and get them ready ASAP. It’ll have to small quarters for the fish at first ?

I picked up the sumps and put them in the stands. Sorry for the bad pictures, I haven’t installed the ambient lighting.

Disco with the sump light!

And the divider material in the first sump

Actually there is a reason why I can change color spectrum (besides it’s a fun gimmick). It doesn’t destroy night vision for me and the fish doesn’t get bothered by red light as much which means I can work in the sump without disturbing them.

It can also be used to incite sexy time for the rays and arowanas (unconfirmed theory ?). I’ll get rich ???

Today I confirmed and paid the first delivery of fish. The will arrive sometime late October.

I also bought a 55 gallon container for a moving bed filter for the rays. I’ll take a pic later on.


The photos are of the actual fish I will get??
