My 1500gal plywood build (pics)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Water has cleared back up and the cons are def breeding in there
 
nice, so they are spawning inside the floating grow out tank ?
 
Floating grow out is no longer in it. I just dumped in the rtcxtsn hybrid..he was about 6" and I figured he'd be fine as my cats don't eat live foods. He has def exploded in growth sense I did that. But from what I can see there are 2 pairs in the drift wood and 1 pair each in about 5 PVC fittings.
 
Your cats will be eating live food soon.
 
I hope they will eat the fry...that's why I put the cons there but I'll bet my greedy oscars and GG get em all.
 
You said there are 7 pairs? That is up to 1400 babies per month. More likely 700 - 100 though. I'm betting all of your fish will be well fed. Cats included.
 
the fry would be able to grow up to 1/5-1/4 inches with the protection their parents before get eaten !
 
Awesome, great looking project!!

Where are your shut off valves? If you ever have to service or repair your pumps you will dump all the water in the pond with out a way to stop the water.
The only thing left is to install the underwater LED moon light, build doors under the sump, Spray the grey shelving unit with a rock textured paint. And I want to replace the piece of trim above the pond on the viewing side with a 12" wide piece instead of the 6". Let me know what you think.[/QUOTE]
 
Gatekeeper. If I ever have to remove the pumps I just have to put a end cap on its intake pipe on the other side of the bulkhead
