inner pond with stingrays

thanks, appreciated...

that WAS a lovely set up...

the leaking incident is now solved, but it will take time to recover, especially the "green wall" above the tank... I had to throw away to garbage 8 years of plants growing. Without water on their roots, my Scindapsus, Philodendron and other epiphyts have died in 2 weeks.

Let's start again...

I can understand, the green wall would've taken some effort from your side to grow over the years.

Sweet tank! Are the barrels inside the tank at both ends for filtration? Or do you have filtration outside the tank?

 

[ElTofi]

barrels inside, at both side of the tank... Last spring, I had a leak on the former "out of the tank" filtration... NEVER AGAIN !

That exciting you were able to get the leak figured out. Sorry to hear about your green wall.


What were you feeding those guys, must take a while to get food down to the bottom dwellers. Those bass and aros must catch everything lol. I know I have to over feed my bass and spread it all out to get anything to the bottom of my tank.

not a real problem, I first feed the peacocks and Arowanas, and then, the stingrays, Acanthicus and Panaque. At first, in early 2011, I had to use a PVC pipe to let the food go down under, otherwise, the Peacocks (C. kelberi, at this time) were too fast
