I've done it

Keep it up, Alberto! You are opening new paths for all of us.

Yes, that was my first concern: High PH. Due to cement. But I’ve done some water changes and now is ok. Last time I’ve measured it was between 7.8 and 8.0. Next weekend I’m going to measure it if I don’t forget.

PH was at 7.9.

Not problematic but a little bit high and when possible i'm going to do a major water change.

Do you remember this pic?

The first pic from my rays tank!!!!

Everyone thought I was crazy. You all said it was impossible to maintain rays in that tank/pond without any mechanic filter.

Well, look at it now

Incredible

The water is clear and the temperature is near 26ºC. That's veryyyyy good to this time of year. The heating system is working very well.

In other ponds inside the greenhouse the temperature is about 19ºC and in outside ponds 13/14ºC.

That is just fantastic!

The rays are fine. I'm searching now for a big female, but it's not easy to find it here.
