Sorry guys about all the questions but my arowana is acting strange.

I will wrap it in filter floss when it runs, or get a less powerful one. I was thinking the exact thing, I will fill a storage bin with treated water to fill it back up. Just to reiterate(if I don't I won't stop thinking about it), so if I do these weekly 60percent water changes I can keep the jardini in a heavily stocked tank
 
i will avoid the filter floss round the intake pipe, it will clog fast and slow down your water flow which means for frequent water changes

for filling up, you can just get a long garden hose and connect to your tap and fill the tank. rem to add decholrinator (seachem safe most cost effective for large tanks) before you turn on the tap.
 
I have a generic pond decholrinatorr, 20 bucks treats 8000g, is that ok? So I should make the intake bare on the canister filter

yes and no... you need to test your water to know how much water change is required

but 1 thing is certain, as your fishes grow you need to increase your volume of water change or frequency of water change or both

are you prepared to do it?

based on what you posted, you are looking at minimal water change if possible which will be unlikely in a heavily stocked tank

I can also test my water. If only a 20 percent water change is needed will it be ok to stick with the 60 percent? and also how does the water change percent correlate with the ammonia and nitrate levels?
