500 Gallon Native Tank

Got a little bit completed, need to get some regular pvc to finish this.

Also, I have a thought in my mind to do bare tank, mainly to keep the tank cleaner, this isnt the easiest tank to clean.

Not trying to ruin your day but I live in tn and helped set up Alan jacksons 500 g native tank and we have been back rhere five or six times for leeches it's hard to catch wild fish and captivate them I would be careful spending money on fish if your going to try to catch them from your local farm or lake or rivers just be careful what you put in because more times than not the difference on wild and captive are substantial because captive breeds aren used to stuff like terrible rain water or oils in streams food trash ext wild breeds build up that over a long period of time good luck wish you the best and you better have chillers to decrease the possibilities of leeches

Ive never had any issues with leaches as of yet. I have been mixing captive and wild for a while now, wild always seems to work better. I havent bought any captive in a long time, last thing I have is a hybrid striper that is captive. All the rest I caught.
