Arowana Tank / Pond Build

[limz_777]

i really don't know if i want the encourage the leaping habit.. but there is this branch that we cut from a tree.. the branch has completely dried out.. we need to strip the bark and prepare it.. might hang it in the center or fix it thru the gap below the frosted pane.. cheers..

its a natural instinct for sliver arowanas , not too high as i can see gaps near the top

Hello Kaya, absolutely amazing build.
On moving your fish. You really want to use the net? I'd take a bed sheet and work that through the tank, under the arowana, then lift it at all four corners. To avoid jumping, have one smaller sheet on top to 'blind' him.

You'll need three persons, 1 standby, hands free, 2 for lifting the sheet, depending on the weight of course...
Guess that would reduce your chances of damaging the fish considerable.

Good luck with your pond, till the end of this year I envy you. Then I'll start myself...

Thanks mate.. all the best with your build about the net.. my aros freak out if other people try to get too close to the tank.. so it will have to be me only.. yes there will be help around.. thanks again for the suggestion.. if the net doesn't work.. will def give your idea the go.. cheers

Not really an update.. managed to fix the cowls on the top skimmer and bottom drain.. had to do a little bit of sawing and cutting..

Actually had the carpenter around the whole day and the guys supposed to deliver that one frosted glass pane never turned up though they were around the corner and were reminded like some 3 to 4 times.. little irritating..

Finally.. One step closer to completing the build.. got the carpentry work done today.. fixed the missing frosted pane..

Added additional support between the frames to give the roof a more smoother curved finish..
