Will be adding several clown knifes, probably a ghost knife, a jardini arowana and maybe a silver arowana.
Thanks, we did the second window Saturday, so it will be 3 weeks on March 12th. Going to be a long wait, as anyone who knows me will tell you I do not like waiting.

Sounds like a great list. I'm sure you have heard it before, just keep an eye on that jardini, I have heard more than a few stories about them turning on tankmates, including rays, as they get bigger and older.
The jardini has been somewhat territorial before, but never with the rays, will keep an eye on him though. He is only around 10-12" so I doubt he would mess with the rays, they are all bigger than him.
Started on the plumbing today, probably have another day or two worth of work left on it. Got our input bulkheads attached to there pumps and one of the pumps attached to the bead filter. Also connected all the output bulkheads to the PVC.
The reason you see 2 separate lines running to the outputs is 7 of the 10 are from the bead filter, the remaining 3 bulkheads are going to be the returns for the sponge filter.
The return bulkheads are 1", but our pipe is 2" from the bead and 1.5" from the sponge. For the 1.5" we found Ts that had 2 1.5" sides and 1 1" side, made it nice and easy. For the 2" we didnt have that option so we got adapters we put inside the 2" T that converted it down to a 1" pipe. You can sorta see it on some of the bulkhead pictures.
