Very much south..
how could I have missed this?? Great job you've done!

But the aros jumping is your fault, because you should have prepared against it. What a sad thing, to have those beauties jump and die.

But, again, an awesome job you did!!!

Quick Update:

1. I had 3 rays at one time, 1 died because I fed it unfresh fish, the fillet was in the ref for more than a week, I lost track of time. The two remaining are a male and female, am not sure why they aren't mating.

2. One of the kois was bothering my rays, so I kept it in solitary confinement in one of my drums for a few hours, at least a few hours was the plan, then this silly thing called sleep got in way, the next morning when I checked on it, it had leaped to its death in the garden. I didn't mean to, honest.

3. The two aros have jumped once each, fortunately, they were thrown back in.

4. The FRT was in the pond for a while, until one night I caught it chasing the Kois and nipping at them for fun. No wonder there were messed up fins in the ID shark. I quickly transferred it to the 100G before it sets its eyes on the rays. It's growing fast, I hand feed it fish and cat food. Should be around 7-8" carapace.

Photo shot by my 9 year old, great shot!

the two 1" holes weren't large enough for the water to drain, so it started to overflow, so I just temporarily put it atop some plastic chairs


wow, that is an awsome idea. I never thought of doing something like this.

The cabinet was a great idea, but the crates were an even better idea, the crates have proven to be bulkier accepting a lot more media and is very sturdy. This cabinet is still at it, but goes wobbly when I clean the filters in it, which is once or twice a year.
