My 450g Show Tank

Is that the Kelberi I gave you? Man the bass are really looking good man. Thanks a gain for holding them for me. Yes, the orino came from River wonders.
I know, the midas, jag, and snook are kind of random, but I couldn't get rid of them. They're all fairly mellow in the big tank. Never have a problem with them messing with the rays. I've seen the midas chase the rtc before, which is kind of funny.gangster;4056255; said:
I have been fairly good about keeping all my fish purchases and trades organized. I picked him up on November 4th, 2009. He was a baby, maybe 2-3". He lived in a 55g at first and was fed blood worms and sinking cichlid pellets. He then moved to my 120g around 6" where he learned to eat carnivore pellets. He turned into a little vacuum. Shortly thereafter he moved to the 450g. He's now around 18" I would guess. He's never been given live anything. He now eats massivore as a staple (will be trying the new 10mm nls shortly), tilapia fillets and market shrimp as treats. He can put away about 50 massivore pellets in about 30 seconds. I have to constantly overfeed my tank so the rays get food.schwalbach2280;4056307; said:
I'm actually having my landscaper dig the pond. I was going to, but just can't find the time now that I'm working so much. It should be about 8'x12' with a nice little waterfall. Probably 3' end sloping to 4' on the other end. I'm still waiting for the final plans on it. The landscaper seems to know whats up though. I'll be taking pictures as progress is made.
Yeah, he's growing fast. He'll be going in the big tank along with the bigger orino once the cats are out of there.haynchinook334;4056356; said:
3m color quartz from "Mason Mart" - they had a bunch of different colors. I'm thinking I might switch to white to show the rays off more. Plus the light sand will reflect the light better, making picture taking easier.Egon;4056400; said:
More Dat photos
This is M, he's the only one that isn't close to being stable. He's a true oddball though. When he went in my tank, he took the longest to go unstable, so it seems he just adjusts slower than the others.
Here's an older photo of him, I'm sure he'll bounce back to this eventually:
Some more recent shots:
The dats weren't as photogenic this time around, I'll have to work on them next time.
I'm guessing its around 500 pounds empty. We had 4 guys try to lift it. It's more or less just awkward. We ended up lifting one end of it and sliding it on the stand. Once it was on the stand, we just had to move the stand into place, which wasn't too difficult.gazelle;4056426; said:
