lol... i thought i was the only fish geek on here... i own a 240g with 2 baby leopard sharks. my octo just died about a month or so ago... made his way out of the holding tank when the sump was being cleaned

here is a early vid of my tank in the beginning, a lot has changed since. water was cloudy cause a power head was knocked off the wall from one of the sharks during feeding.

I used to have a 3 pound Peacock Bass, Bob. I had to sell him to the pet-store when I moved into my current apartment--no pets.

I tip my 40oz. to you, Bob! You were my boy! *sniff-sniff*

I won't top the last tank but this was my creation for my mom. Koi pond.




Net needed since cranes ate the first batch.




Homemade filtration system; no filters or charcoal.

I opted not to use the UV light tube since there is a lot of shade during the day and there is little to no build up of algae, even on the liner. We do have a Aquashield 4000 from a previous project if we do need to use it... all i have to do is splice off a piece of the pipe and fit it on there.

Now when will you help me import some JDM koi?
