112gal Peacock & Hap tank

[danotaylor]

I just moved from Portland, Oregon to Davao, Philippines about six months ago now. Just rented a house so in a few months will be looking to set up a tank again. Found a tank builder here that will build a 8x2x2 for a whopping 5000 pesos or $90 USD.

Awesome mate. I guess you're used to humidity being from the PNW, but the Philippines humidity will suck the life out of you. $90 USD, that's crazy!

It's not so bad, grew up in Houston, Texas. Feels about the same here, heat and humidity wise. The real killer here is the UV. Being just 900ish kilometers from the equator. It's a straight shot, not so much atmosphere to deflect it. Makes you feel like one of those precooked chickens sitting under the heat lamps at your local grocery store.

I know the feeling mate. I grew up in Australia. Big hole in the ozone from jet stream of gaseous industrial waste from China & SE Asia. Get fried in 12 minutes in the summer. Highest skin cancer rate per capita in the planet
Are you there long term then mate?

Indeed I am. Everything here is a quarter the cost of the same thing in the States. In a two bedroom house, rent is just $260 USD. In the US your looking at min $2k. McDonald's double quarter pound meal is $6 USD, America same meal is like $15. Real kicker is my internet is only like $14 USD vs $100 back home...

Cool beans mate. I have travelled extensively in SE Asia. Love Asian cuisine. Beautiful people.
If you ever get the hankering to get ripped off in a western setting, just slide down under to Aus. The cost of living there eclipses the US & Europe even
All the best to you as you settle in there mate!

My move to the Philippines

As some of you may know, some may not. I am a twice over cancer survivor. During my treatment my body attacked itself doing major damage to cartilage ares throughout my body, knees, hips disk in back my etc. This made it to where I was no longer able to work in my career field. So I ended up on...

Wow mate, you have overcome many challenges, health and otherwise. What a journey you have had. I’m glad you have found a new start in life with peace and a greater sense of ease than you experience in the PNW. Happy days and blessings mate!

Just the whet your appetite to convert your 300…this was my 560gal before I switched to rays…

What is the yellow fish in the center of the shot at 20 seconds? Any of these fish cause a big problem in the tank?

Sweet mate, keep us posted on your progress, and be sure to post a few pics or vid of your set up! What strain of frontosa did you get?

I am not sure if this answers your question, but they were sold as 6 bar frontosa? Seem to match all photos of the "Burundi" I see online.
