tank conversion 5000 to 10000 gallons

[Fish on Fire]

Forgot to ask. How much is each day of feeding costing you? What is the blood red fish with a big kok and the bluish fish with a big kok? How big is the largest male rd/midas you got in there? How big is the larger tem? and . . . when was the last time you consulted a psychiatrist for mental healthiness? XD (just kidding about that last part, you're just fish crazy, lol. That's so frigging cool man.)

(PS: Please excuse my incoherent babbling, tis a result of too much sugar combined with my wonderful gf, plus your mega awesome mega tank and mega awesome mega fish made for an over load of too much good stuff for me tonight. XP I feel like bouncing off the walls . . . lol, sorry again.)

Lol, wtf, ok, retarded of me. XP Was typing the password wrong the entire time. Instead of ptcptc I kept putting pctpct. Ok now imma go laugh at myself, haha. Lol, wow, that tank is amazing. Watched some of the cat fighting each other. And that pima is a beast, I'm surprised that a lot of those cichlids aren't fish food by now. XP The pimas are scratching a lot in there.
And is that greyish fish with a big kok a fh? butterkoferi It looked like it had flowers on the side but not sure. Just amazing tems also, wow, you are the fish god, lol. In Cali at least. For now. ;D I have yet to really get started. ;D Needs to become rich first, lolz. And what was the humungo ugly albino cat? channel cat XP Sorry, it's not really attractive, though it is a beast. It's face kinda reminds me of the hunch back of notradam, Quasimodo was it? Lol, sorry, that was so random. Keep expecting that huge albino cat to swallow on of your smaller cichla or the blue channel cat.

Lol, just noticed the beer bottle in front. About the 5th time I edited this post. XP

Oh, and where is Pima numero 3 that you spoke of earlier?
in hospital bin until tank is finished for protection
The tems are something else man, they get punked then all of a sudden try to eat one of the nile perch. You is so cool. Lol, sorry, kinda hyper right now. XP Too much sugar and lovin from my girl, lolz.

Wow, that big orange/redish rd or midas got messed up good, or else that's just how his color is orange and white . But he was hiding under a rock for the longest time before being taunted out by the cream colored rd.

rocks being washed to be preloaded into the tank before the window goes in....about 5000 pounds of lace rock

also 15000 pounds of gravel from baja

I finally caught up on my reading... This is a sweet project for sure... I kinda agreee with the few postsabout removing only the glass. This would potentialy allow you to drop in a temporary wall if needed for emergency mainteneance.

Can't wait to see this finished.

& casper is not ugly, just has a lot of character.

Love reading these DIY projects. Now that's a truckload of lace rock and gravel for landscaping! Just wondering. You have any idea how big a tank can you build using this method? And, what are you doing for additional filtering for the 10,000 gal?

hey john, is that a wallago catfish that I see in your tank . . . . ?

 

[Fish on Fire]

Lol, ok. You've got such an awesome set up. I'll probably be going down to So Cal some time this week, would be pretty cool to drop by for a bit. What kind of business do you own btw?

Hi john...2 questions today!
How big is the Platinum 'Pima, when did you get him, how much, where from etc..?
And, when i look at the webcam, is that baby fish I see near the rocks at the back shoaling 'round the bottom of the tank - looks like it to me!

 

[bmxer4ever]

Damn....just looked at the webcam again (havn't looked since last week..) and I can't see anything there now.... Was i seeing things..? Digital breakup from the camera maybe..?!
