Guys ok for sump filter when the water goes down and you know you gotta top up , do you guys top up with water and anti chlorine or just water ? some forums say with just water since the anti chlorine content in the existing water is alot already. question 2 ) how much and how often do you do a WC for your tanks ? mine is a 6 footer and do you suction water from the sump or from the tank itself ?

when suck from tank that means you off your sump motor and all isit during cleaning ? im still abit fuzzy as to if anti chlorine is needed when topping up the water level in sump filter.pls advice arowana peeps.

Thanks for the helpful answers how do you guys add back water into your tanks after like a 30% or more water change ? I tend to notice bucket by bucket is okayyy but relatively unaffective and takes up ALOT of time.any other creative suggestions ? My old 4 foot tank i used to do bucket by bucket but my 6 foot tank its like almost impossible lol.thanks in advace again guys

soo water from the houses water tank should be fine ? won't adding chlorine into the aquarium while adding the water at the same time be risky or anything ? sry , noob when it comes to 6 foot aquariums LOL.

6 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. sump filter is 3 feet by 1.5 and 1.5 or 2.not too sure.

Guys when i bought my new arowana i added this anti fungal medicine into the water as a precaution , very light dosage.it gives out a green cloudy colour ( like most of this medicines) so it's been a few days and the green ness has warn off but the cloudy ness is still there.should a 10 % water change help in reducing it ? or any other ideas you guys have to handle thing ? maybe from experience.cause most of the meds i used to use last time don't really stain the water much.

Hey guys , what do you guys use incase of power outages ? just curious.

guys is this WC plan ok ? I plan to remove 30 % water from my tank then add in water from my water storage tank and only after adding it into the tank , i'll add the anti chlorine in the tank ? will this be ok for the fish ? pls let me know your thoughts

soo leggendy basicly after i remove water , i add anti-chlorine dosage in to the tank for the amount of water i am going to add back in , THEN i add the water in. Tell me if i've got the order wrong or anything. I've been sued to doing water changes to a small 4 foot tank before this so pretty new to WC for 6 foot tank haha.thanks for the info btw (Y)

for my six footer tank i 've been using the expensive anti chlorine but for topping of of sump filter water ive been using the cheaper one cause since it's a small amount i'm scared i'll end up overdose on the more expensive stronger anti chlorine lol

wmkr , thanks for the guideline bro.never done WC to six foot tank with sump and all before.used to just do bucket by bucket for my old 4 footer but its not practical for this huge tank haha. I've been using the cheap anti chlorine for the sump cause scared of overdosing with the strong one since the cheap one is quiet weak.but i always add it in the last compartment not where the sponges are so the bacteria dont KO thanks again bro.

Guys are arowanas that are labelled as High Back are they actually HBRTG ? In irene aquarium they have HB selling for rm799 BUT there are some that look like RTG but then there are a couple which are in white tank and look like normal malaysia gold arowana but still labelled as HB. Any one can clear my confusion ? or is HB just being used to indicate the degree of gold shine to the rtg's and goldies ?

guys if add soil into tank , will it block the sump filter intake ? like for my tank the water flows into the sump filter through this little slit on the left hand side of the tank.pretty sure you guys know what slit im talking about won't the substrate block the slit and stop the water flow ?

what do you mean how many compartment bro leggendy ? It's like water is sucked in , goes up then goes through a bunch of green filter medium on the side on the tank then only goes down to sump.scared that soil will block the water intake but since you've had experience in it maybe i'll give it a try thx for the info.

soooooo looks like i'm not going to be having soil in my tank.LOL.thanks for the info (Y)

What do you guys think ? Sold as HighBack. Any comments ?

Guys , do we need a license to keep asian arowanas ?

Hey guys , long time already been away from forum haha. My RTG of one year + passed on today. Feared it might have eaten part of the lightning fixture as it hit the light and broke the holster for the light a couple of days ago. Despite water changes,salt bumps and TLC , he didnt make it past a couple days after the incident. Thinking of filling the void after exams. Any suggestions for stock ? Tank is 6ftx2ftx2ft with a 3ft sump filter.

hahahahha.tank also only one year old mah still keeping it hahaha.

btw guys any of your have your tank with sump filter where the water intake from the tank is a small glass slit at the bottom of the glass side of the tank ? how can i put substrate in my tank without the substrate blocking the inlet ? i know my descriptive skills are horrible btw , LOL.
