GIANT gouramis

My RTGG's are just schemming and plotting against me, because they heard I was looking Recipes for them.

Seriously dude, the blue is worse than the black

They will get you

yeah then you can design your house around the tank. .

That's the idea!

for the comment on my tank.

You are welcome, my friend. I really love your tank and your bulkheads and overflow system make me drool

I do like the Saratoga and Barra but I like my gg, loaches, cichlids a little more

No need to feel bad about this. I love these too

my bro goes fishing and catches barra and saratoga.

Here is a photo of a barra my bro got the other weekend it is 79cm and 5.75kg

(Photo removed to avoid unnecessary duplication)

Now that's what I'm talking about! Imagine that in your tank! OMG! I need to move to Australia! NOW!

that's a bugger about the cannister's, could you import them, would they plug into your power points...

Importing them might be feasible. The power points here are at 240 V so there might be some adjustments to be done... but the real issue would be the shipping costs.

Lou why don't you just build a canister filter out of say a 8, 16 or 32 gallon trash can buy the motor/pump housing from a dealer like Eheim and just retro fit it as the top and bingo! Or build a sand filter.

That's not a bad shout at all

Hmmm... indeed this is not a bad call... must get some plans to see how to do that... any leads?

crazy clowntang, Brother Tequila's GGs are Kamikaze ones... very rare and extremely expensive. I suggest you jump on this wonderful opportunity to get them for a good price.

Contact say Ehiems or Ocean Clears parts department for Ocean Clear you would just require a container that is roughly 9.75 inches across and threaded. Because there canister top just sits a top a large O-ring and is screwed in place with a secondary hard plastic locking Ring. Ocean Clear Canisters are just canisters you buy a pump seperately, that's what makes them so good, that and the center filter partition and you canget tops that except U.V. or Heaters.


Take a look here at parts, for ideas, also look into pool filters and pumps. If you need more info let me know and I'll just call them up, and pump them for info.

Tequila & Yanbbrox, thank you very much for these. I will surely check these links out and maybe find some inspiration.

Anyway, here are some updates

Tank looking good and full Lou

I was wondering why you were praising Master Tequila for his help, then I realized he posted about 30 sec before me

Thank you, my friend

I'm in the process of replacing these two ugly green pipes you see on the right... will replace them by gray PVC pipes... more discrete...

Since the back ground is black why not use black tubing?
