Its not even peak summer but its been extremely hot.. water tables dropping everywhere.. but then (somehow) we've had good rains the past few days.. I shouldn't be complaining.. but now the pond/tank looks like this.... :)











Just gonna leave it until the polycarbonate sheets are up tomorrow.. :)

Hi..The basic design is from David's Red Arowana Pondarium..

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325084

David has used the sump as a filter.. but i'm using the sump to stow my heaters and pump. The bottom drain and top skimmer move water to the sump from the main tank. In the larger compartment of the sump there will be 2 X 14,000 LPH motors that move water to 2 X Gardening Bio Filters that can handle upto 15,000 LPH.. The filtered water will be pumped back into the main tank.. and thus the cycle.. hope this helps :)
