They are soft as anything my tig snaps at it if it gets to close

The way they eat does freak some fish out at 1st as they eat like a shark and when settled they even swim with the dorsal out of the water at food time

They do have a massive mouth

I will get some more pics later if you want

It's 8x6x3 with a 6x2x2 sump with 24-7 water change


I have to say this again, your tank is by far one of my favorites on this site.
Great attention to detail...

Thanks from you I take that as a massive complement

Some of the fish you have had in the past used to make me drool

That lince is not happy

at the start of the video it's not moving it's resting facing the side glass they should always be on the move

It's feeding but it's not getting enough food or it has some kind of parasite as it's very skinny

They are a great fish to watch but need a massive tank my tank is 8x6x3 and it could do with a bigger tank

This is mine a few months ago much bigger now

your tank is the ****ing bollox is that in your house?
 
T1kar, think you can give us a rundown of your filtration set-up?
 
The filtration is a 6x2x2 sump with 4 x eheim compact 5000 pumps 4 x vectron 25w UVs run back to back to give a total of 100w
24/7 water change run from a HMA filter which changes 150-200 gal per day

The tank base has 4 pillars of concrete foundation blocks along the back wall and 2 pillars at the front with uni strut in the middle for support
The front face of the tank is finished off with a real red brick face high gloss red surround and and sump doors

The whole tank build including building the hut for the tank to go in took about 1 month

Have a look in the projects forum with the title 1000 gal tank build project for mor info

It also has a aquatronica system which monitors redox orp ph sump level water leak sensor it also sends me a SMS message if and of the things mentioned above are out but my main reason for using the aquatronica is if the power trips it will also send a SMS message which I thought was important with the tank being in the garden

Hearted 4 x aquamedic 500w controlled by 2 weipro 1019 temp controllers
Light are a 6th 8 tube T5 hanging light

Tank size is 8x6x3 with 2 weirs in the centre of each side glass with 2 x 50mm drain pipes in each

The background is 22 sheets of jewel 600x600 dark cliff

The tank has been up and running now for 1 year with no problem and no need for water changes all you need to do is feed

Thank you! Thats the way to do filtration. The aquatronics system is monitoring orp, do you have Ozone included, or did you mean the system has the capability to monitor?

Checking thread now :)
