Thanks kss2801,
It is the smooth grayish one, as well as some other white round rocks.
I have them soaking for now.
Also got two pieces of drift wood that is soaking in there.

I purchased a cover last week(plastic) and I didnt like how it was sitting on the tank.
(I had some extra braces put on, after the tank bellied out)
So I emptied the tank last night and took it to remove the braces and put one big brace in the middle. (Really tiring work!)

Hopefully I get the tank back tomorrow so I can clean it and fill it.

And hopefully once everything is set up.. will make a trip up by Chai on sat or sun.

Will update when I get tank back with pics.

[foss]

they really say, if you want something done properly take your time and plan.

If I did not care how the cover sat on the tank. I would have put fish in weekend gone. But I rather do it properly and done. To avoid regrets later on.

GUYS, I NEED SOME URGENT HELP HERE....
ANY OF YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR SETTING THE TEMPERATURE ON A BOYU CHILLER LN 2600.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP.
MUCH THANKS........

is there anyway i can add a glass screen to this outdoor pond so that i can see the fish as though it waqs an aquaruim?

[foss]

I predict if you want an aquarium type looking pond, you gonna get lots of algae and moss on the glass. and its gonna require a lot of time and maintenance to keep up to mark.

Leave it as is. If you want an aquarium, put one inside the house.

[link]

glass side is a good idea...abt 3 feet long....daily use of the magnetic scraper for algae is a must.
'Train' yr fish by feeding in front of glass area...you'll maximise enjoyment this way & add another dimension to yr outdoor layout.

good luck...nice project

Those are easy to clean, a quick soak and scrub and you're good. they wont affect water chemistry either. The driftwood will lower the pH a bit, but that's good for most freshwater fish. Make sure to run carbon or else the tannins from the wood with make the water yellow.
It's good that you're willing to take it slow. Things will work out much better that way.

yea I have some pieces.. but they real skinny. Not the nice big ones.

But to answer your question.. saw fresh water parrot fish for sale at Natures World on Sutton St and at Chais. Real nice!

Thanks Sharky!

Smurf - what you mean?

[keith]

thnx foss.will chk it out.

[foss]

they were $90 at NW.. not sure of the price at Chais tho

[keith]

hmm i wonder who might be the main importer of freshwater fish in Trinidad(other than chais)

[sharkman121]

U may have to cycle the tank to get the bacteria in the tank going. I did it for my salt water tank, didnt know it had to be done to fresh water though. All my years of having a fresh, never had it cycled.

May not be a problem though as fresh water fish are usually hardier than salt water.

Foss you could use Stress Zyme or BIO-Spira to cycle tank quickly.
