Looking now at 22 hundred hours (Damn time differences) and it appears that you added more ocellaris bass? they look they same length (If not a few inches bigger) than the cichlids. IE, Oscars, Red one, blue ones.

Hey John, what happened with the leak? Did it all clear up? I'm assuming that it must have because
a) You havn't posted about it and
b) The tank's still full!

Have you always had 3 Aros? I'd only ever seen 2 before. Come to think of it, have you put a good few new fish in there? Just seems to be more of everything! Must be all the space - they've spread out more!
And those are the most active bichirs I've ever seen, especially the first day of the 10,000 - one of them was swimming all over the place! Always thought they were quite a sedentary fish, but yours seem to be more active. Maybe it's because they've got so much space to explore.

I'm glad you slowed down the camera swing. Isn't SOJ getting a sore arm doing that every 5 minutes...?! :ROFL:

John, maybe you could post on the considerations of pond armor in your project. I have a potential large aquarium project next year and Sanitred is definitely out based on the problems wizzin had and Sanitred's response. Pond Armor appears to be the way to go, but feedback on your project would be very helpful.

Leaks? Did you have any problems when you cut the divider wall out and waterproofed the cut area between the 2 5K areas?
