Ayah Pimp? My Dad also here?

Heheh

Its pretty basic, and easy. This is the kind u were referring to, right?

wow. 2nd pic filter looks big. mine is just normal size.
foam secara melintang 2 keping dah full

err, wont they kinda overflow if i put too much filter materials?
so the overflow will go to where? scared go out from the tank....basah bilik liao

depend on what kind of fish u want..mostly i will go rahang the one beside bomba just to see what kind of new fish came in..but if i wanted a fish i will go back to my relative and ask him to get me the one i want with cheaper price..

Yeah that was one big filter box. For normal aquarium we usually use small box like this one only :


Personally i havent been using top filter for long time, since changing to sump filter. But i think, to prevent from flooding outside of aquarium, u can provide a DIY padding tank to put ur top filter on. So the overflown water will go into the padding tank, with a tube back to ur aquarium.

Wah, can i have the privilegde too?

Just need PVC with holes for rain effect.
And lapik with bio balls , topped with foams (sounds like burger to me)
How to salur the water back to the tank?
How heavy will the filter be?
Mine just normal 4ft with two short braces.

sometimes i see relatively rare cichlids kat rahang tu, macam v.argentea. tapi dia jual mahal pulak. potong stim betul.
relative bukak kedai ikan ke?

any idea that the pump don supply air in the water?
the motor is working but juz no idea y no air pump in
tried blow n raise the pump higher but stil no good

A small thing u need to turn/switch. Horizontal lets the air thru, vertical blocks the air. See the pic (lucky that i still have 2 units unused )

One more thing is, u need to put the other end of the air pump above the water surface. Good luck.

Wow.. a giant predator tank. Nice concept, lovely fishes. How do u first comm the two arowanas, have they been together in the same tank for a long time? Anyway very nice tank bro

thanx bro antzz, will try to see how to adjust

i hv a large pond at my new house.
do u hv suggestion for giant fish to keep there?
im thinking of arapaima gigas.. but cant find any in kedah..

Damn nice My fren caught a pic in Sultan Kelantan's pond few weeks ago. His Royalty keeps Arapaima Gigas as well

saw some arapaima gigas in a restaurant at melaka last month..
biggest one is almost 2 meter.. the owner kept those giants in quite a small pond..

Thanks... aro silver and aro gold are easy to comm... they r together for almost a year... but between aro gold, u have to have at least 5 of them to comm....

Nice ornate poly! So just what do you feed them all with and how much ?? And share ur filtration system as well.

with white base, polys marking will fade ..eventually.
And when you'll upgrade the tank? ^^
Those lap, PEE and ornate will outgrow soon.
And auranti needs cooler water to show beautifully marking.

p/s catfish and those suckers shouldn't comm with polys.

U can request it from nearby lfs, they might consider searching for u.

IMO, beside spacey enclosure, one more thing to consider is the feeding cost. Arapaimas grow really fast, and they consume carnivorous diets.

Added on November 15, 2012, 10:47 pmRecently i cleared away all the sand substrates in my tank, leaving the base bare and 'glass-slippery'. I dont think my bichirs like the new situation very much.

I have this idea in mind, to use tile or slate as aquarium base (as in picture). How do u guys think?
