My 1000gal Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hi
Made inlet filter with box,mosquito window net and synthetic cotton like sheet,
It works but the flow is slowlier.

Have water foaming on surface, made a search on mfk, protein (overfeeding) or dusts (carbon,sand) might be the cause.

In my case i think it's dust from charcoal because when i try to cup them with my hand they do flee it. but had one loss, a dead body in the outlet pvc jet head kind of crushed (didn t look so recent neither old) so maybe the fat, protein of fishcorpse causing foaming.

Not ready to make a skimmer but if i had too....
 
5 fingerlings dead today.

Could be:

-Yesterday i mixed shredded glass shrimps with praziquantel therefore chemical poisoning but they are not all dead so what?

-Change of alimentation: artemia vs artemia mixed with glass shrimps and praziquantel.

-Made a feeder (a foam raft with a net) to let the food inside (not fall to the bottom to be wasted), after a while saw a baby in the net munching everything he could , saw his abdomen distanted like realy fatisfied, he jumped out when i tried to catch him. Therefore Overfeeding?:headshake

Water has good smell good taste and parameter ok but foaming .



After Babybassicide made a water change in third tank water with carbon on surface and lot of dust. airstone fellt in pvc outlet as well .
Glass shrimps alive on bottom of tank.:)
Inlet filter deep brown:barf: (In only 2 days) -->washed already

Water stop foaming.:headbang2

Have to make a cover to my feeder raft.
 
We had an electricity outtage from 9am to 5pm.

Washed filter bags and charcoal put a battery pump in place (6volts).

Had only 2 babies dead but it s only 6:17pm now so i don t know if they will all survive due to anaerobic bacteria tranformation problems.

Feeding them with small steamed mackerel meat, they prefer it to shrimp meat.
Thinking to get some raw mackerel meat ...

Click to expand...

so when you say good taste...you tasted the water? :crazy: maybe a spike you didn't see ans went away or something...? :nilly: well i hope everything comes through to you and your other fishes bro!:)
 
Hey FishDojoGod, if you have clean stream water direct it into the tank and have a natural overflow. I seen someone do that to the Malayan Mahseer in Kenyir lake and the colors are crazy!
 
Hi yes i taste the water, never went swim in a lake? Fish make love in it!
Read that japanese koi breeders are doing it. if it is not pleasant in the mouth do something....

I ve mud ponds as well that is the next step for me bass. (gonna make a thread about that)

I do have a lake nearby but there is no flowing river coming in it (only seasonal) and we are higher than the lake. Is Kenyir lake acid or alkalin? My lake is around 8.

Today:

Water is brown. Maybe beacuse it s moonsoon and it is rainning every late afternoon, pH of rain around 5.6 to 5.8
Water is not running out from pump, washed the inlet filter, brown as last time, residual matter in bucket with water is dark emerald green.
Water is running out now.
Changed spray venturi design.

2 fish dead today; one jumped on the netting around, one dead on surface, the others are eating eagerly.:mwave:

Water is brown. with foaming but not same kind: bigger bubbles that fall apart quickly, more like nitrate.:(

Now it s moonsoon and it is rainning every late afternoon, pH of rain around 5.6 to 5.8, temperature, charged with pollution?:confused:

Some days very sunny 38c under shade, somedays verycloudy and almost chilly :screwy:water at 27.5 -28c.
As a humain i m having a destabilising almost debiliting weather. :crazy:
So what about my babies?


Two days before:

Added water plants in filter tank Nb.2

Tanks look clearer than main tank, why?
 
So what is your intention of keeping pbass enmasse? Food? Sportfish? Ornamental? Or?

I fear the flactuating temperature is taking its toll on the babies. Better to get bigger ones next time. I don't have much luck with fries. Too much TLC required and we guys are just not detail enough.

Kenyir pH ranges from 5.8 to 8. Obviously lower around peat swamps, streams and rivers area and higher in the middle of the lake.

Good luck with the babies.
 
Awesome!
