Can I see an updated full tank shot and stocking? This thread is just unbelievable!:hyper::good:
 
I have just read this whole thread and all I can say is-incredible. Congrats to you for putting in all that work. What an achievement :good:
 
the tank has been set up 2 years in feb and it has all worked so well to litters of ray pups and not even done one manual water change in the 2 years
 
Beautiful tank. I've always wanted some rays.
Are you ever planning on adding any decoration/plants to this tank? Or would there be no pont due to the many rays?
 
i have never had plants or decor the rays will rip plants up as soon as you put them in

as for decor for me its all about good water with decor you get loads of crap stuck in it

we dont keep fish we keep the water as best we can :lol:

I really wish I could stop checking back at this post... it makeds me want to cry!! Its just so unfair!! LOL

Not many people here could say that they would ever even be brave enough to attempt to create such a masterpiece of a tank!

Some of the most amazing fish and lovely examples of the species!!

What is your current stocking list?
 
current stock

1 x 28inch chilli red asian arowana
3 x 14inch gold tin foils (which im trying to sell)
3 x 10inch twin tail tinfoils (i have 4 more in a holding tank small 4inch)
1 x 16inch dat cambelli
1 x 20inch+ dat pulcher
2 x 10inch+ thin bar dats tigers
2 x 3 bar indo dats tigers which look the same as the big one but not as rare
1 x 16inch indo dat tiger traditional stripes
1 x 24inch tigrinus cat
3 x p14 stingrays
2 x leo/bd stingrays

thats it im sticking with that for life now just waiting for the twin tail tinfoils to grow then sell the golds

the dat cambelli is sold as its not part of my plan and i will keep a male from my next batch of hybrid stingrays as i just want to see how it turns out then i will have 3 x male and 3 x female rays

the tank has been set up 2 years in feb and it has run like a dream all i need to do is change the cartiges in the HMA filter every 3 months and change a sheet of carbon every 3 weeks and feed

the 24 hour water change was the best thing i done on this tank as manual water changes would have been a pain

the only main thing i have changed since setting it up is the pumps when set up it only had 4 x eheim compact 5000 which with head height was only turning over about 15000 lph which wasnt enoght it now turns over 66,000 lph which is much better but the pump power elec on its own is 1kw its costing about £25 per week to run the tank which is much cheaper than most people spend on a night out my house and the tank cost about £2400 per year on elec

but i dont drink so for me its money well spent
 
If i had my old tank i'd have the cambelli dat back off ya mate :(

I've seen this tank in person and can say its a master piece could easily sit and look at it all day :)

£25 a week isn't alot at al for all of that. and like you said most people spend alot more on a few hours drinking one night a week and remeber nothing after.

You've got something that will last a life time, or until you go bigger hahaha

the ngt is sold for the last month but the longer it stays the more im thinking of changing my mind

im just having a change around and want more than one of each type of fish and with ngt is just a one per tank fish

i have 3 indo tigers and 2 thin bar tigers and will pay top $$$$$ if i can get another pulcher but thats not going to happen and my dream is to breed the tigers/dats as they have never been bred in captivaty before its going to take years but once i have all the right fish i will just leave them alone for a few years to do thier thing

the cambelli is massive mate and would looked cramped in a 6x2x2 now its going to a close pal of mine and i told him never sell it i would rather take it back as i hate big fish being passed around like pass the parcel
