the dumbass had the audacity to steal a pic of someone whos actually on here. what a de de deee

Anyone want to see a pic of my 10000 gal? I got some pima, peacock bass, ect. Oh wait that's johnptc's tank. I guess unlike the loser that started this thread I will stick to building my tanks so that I can show off real hard work, like john and others on here.

Oh well, at least these liars get the real McCoys to post FAIL pics and everybody gets a good laugh at the pics and the liars.

Ok, I am not into domestic violence or against illegals, but some of these are pretty funny.

You might want to consider pool filter sand as a substrate because: It's relative cheap compared with gravel, it's prewashed so you can dump it right in, and best of all, it does not hold dirt like gravel. I have it as substrate in a 650 gallon fiberglass vat and it has been set up for about a year. The sand has never been cleaned even once and still does not need cleaning. Cleaning the filter and regular water changes are all that is necessary. In a tank your size you could spend hours trying to keep the gravel clean and it won't be easy in a deep tank.

Plants may be a problem since you tank is deep and they need strong light. If you go with floating plants you could use water lettuce, water hyacinth, riccia or salvinia depending on what's available and legal in India.

I would not leave the light on 24/7. It's not natural for the fish and can actually cause problems for plants as well. You could always have a dim light come on from dusk to midnight or whenever you go to sleep if you want to see the fish as night and leave the bright growing light for the day.

Highly reccommend a lexan or polycarbonate cover for the tank so the arowanas don't beat their heads against glass or jump out.

Good info Sundew, but you really gotta go back and read this entire thread

anyone notice silveraroonly hasnt been on since got busted. people like him should not be allowed on this site but who can stop them. BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bderick67]

He is now using another user name and keeping a low profile.

 

[city_of_evil6661]

really. he must not know how to properly care for fish properly. cuz most people that do on here dont steal other peoples threads and say its there own. he probably would ask for advise and when someone told him not to do something he would do it anyway. therefore they wouldnt like him and he stole someones thread so people wouldnt chew him out for doing something stupid. but thats just my opinion.
