Setting up the indoor stock tank with pics.

Here are the catfish in the transport container

Here it is so far in the den...

Don't worry I plugged the air pump back in and added Pond Prime to the water already, and temp is already at 80F.

Also the precycled filter will be setup once the stock tank is full.

Nice! Gotta love those rubbermaid stock tanks!

More pics soon, I just had a minor setback with the filter.

Howd the filter go?

Had to resetup the filter that ran it when it was outside, waiting for silicone to cure on the new one before I can test it out.

Here's a pic of the empty new filter

Here's a pic of the old filter currently in use until the new one cures. Yes I know it's fugly. The new one will look better.

The old one uses bioballs, the new one will use seachem matrix and the bioballs from the old one to help it cycle over and once it has cycled I<3fish gets his bioballs back.

Also can you spot the creepy face in the last pic?

I see it!

Wierd what a camera does.

More updates will come tomorrow evening, by then all silicone should be fully cured.

Updates as planned all finished now!

The bio balls are helping me cycle it, since they are fully cycled with bacteria I am also adding bacteria to the pond.
