    Thanks @f-fish
    Yes... the metal work is as important as the build ..
    Haha a farm is not easy but if we can breed a little to give those that want quality some nice pups at a fraction of what they want to charge us it's great

    Thanks for the kind words @Pezulu.. they mean a lot
    We always help anyone that comes to us irrespective of whether they have one of our pups or not or even if it's just out of curiosity
    The more we share with everyone the better their pups can thrive and give their owners the joy these awesome fish can give you

    That's amazing!
    I'm sure the wait for the silicone to dry is going to be torture.

    If @MariaS moves over some media from existing sump to new one - not long.

    @T. Guppy ,

    As @Reedfish said, I am moving all the media from a 1.5m sump plus the internal filter on my 2.2m tank across to start up this system and will also add Stability for a week

    I will move some of the fish across straight away but only smaller fish and Spooky, my Chili Red Arowana
    The 3 big girls (rays) are pregnant so i can not risk the stress of catching them and moving them
    They will be moved as they have their pups towards end December/Jan

    One of the new big girls will come across now, the other pair will sty in @Cesar's tank

    Is the 2.2 meter the same one in the thread flash and polkadots new home? Or another tank? Also once you've moved them over what's going in the 2.2 please?

    No, the 2.2m im referring to is is not the one you talking about, that 0ne is 2.5/2.6 X1m
    My 24k gold Aro will move in there

    The 2.2 im referring to is another tank
