Ray pond

[SnowAddict]

Hi all,just thought you would like to see my set up.
Set up is:
8x6x3 Fibreglass pond
7' tank
3' tank
7' sump
I have constant drip set up on the system with a nitrate vessel to reduce tap nitrates to 0. The water in the pond has a yellow tinge to it in the photos but ever since I changed the light to an led in the room it's done that when taking photos.
Stock includes-
In the pond:
Male Leo X Bd
Male P14
Female Leo X Bd
Femal Pearl
Male P14 X Pearl
P14 female to come soon, all Ray's are adults.
Also in there is a large 18" mono and Asian Arowana RTG.
In the 7' there is a male Leo X Bd from the Leo pair in the pond and a female P14. There are some young Myleus schomburgkii widebars that are growing quickly and starting to colour up. Have a Asian Arowana Banjar coming next week to go in the 7'.
Nothing in the 3' yet I do have a 4" Tigrinus coming tomorrow so that will grow out in there till ready for the 7'.
Any feedback welcome cheers all! I will upload a video when I'm allowed to post links.

You clearly mean business with that setup mate, fantastic. Looking forward to the video!

Did you make the 8x6 pond yourself?

Great set up and rays, looks really good. As asked by someone else, hows the humidity?
What you using for filtration?
Best of luck with breeding, you are well set up for it!

Like the first ray for sure! Looks like there is greenhouse pannel as a top? Nice ice collection.

Thank you all appreciate the comments!

The pond was actually built by Denby Koi Ponds, fantastic quality and I couldn't have built it for £900 minus Vat as its a 'Chemical Dip Tank'.

The only issue with humidity at the minute is against the door as it has a big glass window in it condensation forms. But it's not a big issue and completely controllable with a wipe down daily. Before I put the green house roofing over the pond the walls were dripping wet!
Filtration is currently a 7' sump stuffed with alfagrog. I'm going to built a larger plywood sump like Stendker discus hatchery uses. System is on a constant drip.
