Gonna be a busy day framing out half the basement tomorrow. so I tought I would get the first species update of the week checked off the list.

Kels update. 4-5" now. More gold then the camera can get in on them. Looking like some great potential is in these.

Thanks. Made a lot of progress on one of my rooms I am adding in the basement. Once the rooms and bathroom additions/finishing in the basement are all done my pond can be built. Air nailers and .22cal nail shooters are well worth their money.

What size pond? Will it have a viewing panel? That's pretty awesome, kels definitely have some potential

It will be 8'x12'x4' or so. Just depends on how far into the den I want to go. It can be 9x20 if I want. I have 2x 72"x30" 5/8" glass from a 180gal rimless I am using as windows.

Man that sounds like it's going to be an epic build, will those panels be thick enough for that size pond? When you do start do a build thread I would love to see it go up

They will be higher up amd they are from a rimless 180gal so they are thick enough for the 30" that they are. Ill just have 10" or so below them that that won't have a window. From my understanding the glass can hold it as long as it is not more then the 30". So they will be on the top side of the wall. Ill get more thoughts to confirm or reject my thought on this when I get closer. Ill put up a thread on the build when I get there for sure.

The second sp of the week plus some extra shots. One of witch I believe is known as the "hulon shot". Only it features my "bear claws" as they have been called. I also wanted to get them together and with the tems/xingu for size.

The intermedia are about 6" now. They are close to the tem and xingus size. Smash everything I offer.
