Gday.

Welcome to Part 2 of my other thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?332416-My-first-ghetto-pond

Feel free to read through that whole thing, but for the lazy guys I'll write a run through of what has happened in that thread.

It all starts with Sally.

My "little" red tailed catfish, was getting too big for her tank (and destroying the place )..

So she needed a pond. Ghetto style of course.

Took a while to get that bloody thing cycled but eventually it happened and Sally moved into her new home.

A few short months later the state that I live in suffered terrible floods, my house went under and her pond was destroyed.

Luckily I managed to get her out before they hit and she spent the next couple months in cramped quarters at my work.

I ordered a new pond to set up in our rental house, so it was time to pack her up and move her out of the tiny tank.

Then she finally got to stretch her fins out again

Shortly after all this I decided to move across country. I had to leave Sally behind in the care of family members until I got settled in my new home.

This brings us to present day, it is now 6 months on...
 
That is rad! Did you really convert a water bed into a pond? That's pretty creative!!! :ROFL: the new pond looks good.
 
Im putting a tarp down because no matter how hard I try I always manage to spill water during a waterchange.

Now its time to unpack. I hate putting these things together.

Managed to set it up ok, with one minor problem..

Oh well, that door will have to be sacrificed. Lucky theres two entrances to that room.
So this is as far as I got today.

Still need to put the liner in and fill 'er up, but that will be another day.
