Nice bro. For ketapang leaves, pick up the dried 1. Wash until it clean before you use it in tank. Don't use the green leaves.

Hey Moon Blaze, you in the aquarium business? Good idea too about the fiber tank, but I searched the net it doesn't look really professional or attractive.. No need stand right? So its like a little pond... I would like more info on it thanks.

And guys 1 question yesterday a guy offered me a 5x2' tank for RM250 include stand(he doesn't suggest put outdoors) and no hood. I'm putting the tank outdoors and would like something bigger like 6-8', but the price is good, should I take it or wait for larger tank offer?

Thanks
I just doing w/c and have nothing to do and will upload pics soon...

guys i just bougt a 4ft long tank which is 1.5 ft wide.how do i secure the 4 lids on the main lid ? D: pls show pics if anyof u have the same tank ( its the one with the plastic lid nit the wood one )

Bensow, when come to aro you need to consider the glass tank tickness b4 you buy 1. Minimum advisable glass thickness is 10mm. If you can get 1 when 12mm even better.



Bro, try ask wmkr. He bought 1 last time from Kin Fatt. I can say the fish quality is quite good although the price is cheaper than other LFS.



Bro, do WC and try salt + heater first. If can't heal, can proceed to use white spot medicine. I think can find at LFS 1.



Bro, can u explain more on your problem. Do you meant how to assemble the tank cover onto your tank right?

no bro i mean how can i make it ' arowana jump proof'

Do you refer to the glass bar that created to hold up the filer?

Here are w/c photos... And saif why you suddenly talk about glass thickness? I didn't ask anything about it.... Anyway thanks for the advice.

I know some of the pictures are crappy, that's because the water is blur and the glass is full of water drops, its w/c time...

Thanks

nonono above that.the plastic cover that comes with the tank.has 4 lids that can be taken off/on for easy access.im affraid my 'soon to come ' arowana will be able to jump out.any pics/ideas on how to jump proof it guys ?

Aro is an aggressive creature. I'm talking about glass thickness because sometimes hobbyist have encounter aro bang into the tank glass.
So, I just advice u on in advance. Thick glass also can support the tank from water pressure from the water inside the tank.

what do u do ? did u secure ur lid or just take the risk :/

My 4 footer do have cover like yours. I open the lid a little bit to increase the air ventilation in the tank. Yes I'm taking the risk.

so urs is the newer plastic lid of the old school wood ? ha ha i think i will take the rish for now and later if hes realy jumpy.then i will weigh em down

The plastic 1. Hehe..

saif bear thks for the info i will try to ask wmkr

No problemo bro. Any good stock of HB at Kin Fatt ?
