My 1000gal Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks for these nice comments.
Yes, Nine fly tying factories in Chiang Mai.

Add a 18mm *120cm pvc tubing with 18*4mm drilled holes and Jet End made by firing pvc than press it close and saw 2 holes .
It keeps the vortex movement.
Tilapias are doing fine and eat a lot

Getting more green water , think of getting shrimps to eat these algaes.
Nitrification process not ready yet.:(

Air stone fell in sump 2 inch tubbing of a filtration tank, had to drain it and get a wire (intoduce into the airstone's plastic inlet) to get the airstone out.;) have to find a stainless sink netting .

Thinking to use this thread as a diary for my Peacock bass Ops, in the case of a virus in my com everything could be keep in mfk server... ;)

No much secret stuff in what we do right ?:screwy:
I mean am I loosing something if i expose:nilly:

....lol ?:ROFL:
 
Hi,

Airstone fellt in pvc drain had to empty a tank filter, get it out with a clothes hanger.

Went catch glass shrimps treated them against parasites with praziquantel and metronidazole, now in quarantine , gonna try to release in filter tanks to help process.

Last night electricity cut 2 times (monsoon now) .
If water get out of tubes the pump isl not strong enough to start pump water again.

Since i made jet and shower tubing water went green.
Maybe not enough movement on the bottom?

Will try to install the tubing at the bottom again for better movment and siphon effect in case of electricity cut ...
 
Hi
My mistake no siphon effect at same level of water and pump higher than water...
Repaired the inlet valve it retain water now.:irked::(:grinno:

still have fun
 
Just ame back from Bkk 30 min ago fish are in Tank aclimating in plastic bag.
Didn t find 5 inches X 20 fish, but found 1,5 inch fish so i bring back hundred piece,about the same price that i calculated, these are named Occelaris by the Thais.
Saw two Xingu temensis with Ich and an huge 6 years temensis .

Bought 2 x 50 from different shops, now i dont now if i shall bath them in Potassium permanganate to treat them for Ich?
There are still small fragile fingerlings you now...but they may have latent Ich as well.
But they are tired as I am.. gonna calculate dose and continue to think.

If somebody is on line now and for the next 30 min. help is appreciated.

what sp. are those? i hope you pond water is about 87 or higher bc those guys are small ;)
 
Yes you are right thanks dude .
i don t know how many will survive.
i think about 10 %.
I hope a 100%
when i ll make my choice Between thinking and hoping maybe 50%

A bit of speech:

The purpose of the concrete tank is to control the most parameters easily.
once grown i ll transfer them in mud ponds nearby.

Now i do have green algae so i did (4 days ago) harvest wash with p.permanganate some aquaticplants (katchet in thai) then arrange them in the first filter tank to eat the nitrates inplace of green algae.

I took mesh bags and filled them with charcoal (not activated) just for the nitrification surface in filter tank 2 and 3.

Glass shrimps (scavanger right ) are in there too , 3 of them get caught in homemade Pvc venturi rain blower (shall i post pic of that ?).

we can see it works a bit while sumping the bottom of the filter tanks every 2 days
1st Tank is brown for 2 seconds
2nd brown for 1 sec
3rd green and clear green.

changed the bottom drain of tank :
took a bucket plastic cover drilled it and fix a 3 inch pvc tube with big holes in it , leaving a space of 2 inches between ground and cover, to not allow water to fall directly in hole so the farside of tank is sucked as well.

bought a portable air pump to offer to a friend who lives near a lake full of glass shrimps so he can provide me... i ll treat them and stock some frozen as well


I saw in bkk:

a lot of Tiger fish 2 kinds
gator fish 2 kinds
bichir
arapaima a lot
silver aro a lot
malaysian aro beautiful ones
flower horn and koi a lot
tiger perch
snakehead n jungle perch

bought:
3 thermometers
2 portable air pump
1 replacement big air pump
artemia and pBass occelaris

i ll keep price secret cause there is no point to compare and get envious but the total bill would be less than go two people in a N.Y. Japanese restaurant

If you group let say 3 persons i ll guide you in Bangkok for three days

day 1 :market
day 2 :flyfishing or fishing for Barramundi in fishing parks (give u time to think what you realy want) ( i m not working for them ...i know them but not...)
day 3 :buying packing for export.
i ll arrange rooms food transports , i ll translate in negotiation 2 hours each dude (i m fluent in thai) from 8 am to 9 pm.
I never did it but if that s interessting to someone i ll study the possibilities.
