So the 2000 gallon aquarium is now filled up with water and ready for fish. Filtration is back up and running and the water
Needs to clear up a bit, but I have to admit right off the bat that this tank looks absolutely
stunning
So as I previously mentioned
We're going to move the little pearl stingray first going to be the first fish back in to the 2000 gallon aquarium
And we're just going to use this little net here
Oh, she's a feisty one
Did you go little one first little gray. They're so tight in there all the way to the bottom
You go
Whose beautiful, this is glide right now
Rest in no particular order just whoever I can get
Big email pearl
Lucky
Great that goes to the next
You got to turn around now. You don't want to dump these guys out jerk them around or anything like that
You want them to come out of the tanks more naturally
Now the pearl the baby pearl has already founded area underneath the route somewhere, that's pretty awesome
And the lady you go
I got to admit
I scooped raise up in bare bottom tanks as well as tanks the substrate is so much easier in tanks to the substrate
They just simply swim, right out whoa no little one
Or you can just simply scoop them right out if you try to get a ray on a bare bottom tank. They're like suction cups
It's so difficult to get out for help
I'm going to live in the net
They're already exploring below alright get another one back here in the corner
Now you would think that the Rays would be more difficult
to net
These guys very easy compared to what we're about to do
Now they have much less room to work in on in here. It's gonna be difficult attach these arowana what I'd like to do
a or another
Okay good in the water now so no nope nope nope there you go
Beauty
Anywhere
Okay notes up Wow you go
Okay right so bad
Guys over remember buddy moving him was a nightmare he's such a big and powerful fetch
These guys like to flop around a little bit that they were nothing compared to him he would break the bags
He'd smashed through things
of course no fish wants to be netted but
Seems like these guys just give up
Just take me
Now for the bichir
The fire is not going back in the 2000 gone aquarium. I've decided
Frank could use the little buddy or a little friend in the hundred gallon when I put him in there
If I put the bikes right here, we're never gonna see him again
But oh man, this is absolutely amazing
That's a video for another time I still need to drain the hunter gallon tank move over all of the wood that was in it
move the rainbow fish
There's a lot of work left in the gallery, but lets me put the focus back on this tank
Absolutely stunning
Arowana already acting naturally the lights are starting to dim out a little bit, but I love the shadowing effect everywhere
Absolutely amazing rays are a little bit stressed out of course just from being moved
But as you can see we'll just take a look at the other side here
They're already exploring in and underneath the roots
Having a good time a lot of people were concerned that the Rays weren't gonna have enough room in here. There's plenty of room
The big pearl right there
More room than it looks that's for sure
Other people worried about how many gallons of water this actually took up?
Adding it in and the backgrounds hollow so in terms of gallons nothing. I mean 510 gallons if you've melted this down
It's not displacing a lot of water
as for space in the tank
The the previous escape I already kind of went over that in terms of square footage and whatnot took up far more space than this
This is just dramatically different because we used to have a white wall
and white always makes a room look bigger and now we have brown and grays and
You know all greens all different types of colors from the era Juana's looking stunning. Oh even ones already
kind of exploring they love those types of roots
But yeah, the reeds are doing fantastic there Gordon goes right under there
Go ahead and explore a little one there you go. I'd love to be able to find a little baby pearl. She's in there
She's the first one in
Absolutely amazing jobs completely beautiful stunning natural I couldn't imagine
Looks good
The equipment we've got a couple of Ecotec wave makers back there creating tons of flow within the aquarium and circulation
Then I put this big log here
I still need to add another air pump behind it some people thought not silicone in them in place was a bad idea
Hey time to agree however a couple zip ties here and there never hurt nobody
They're not gonna be able to do any damage or at all
but
There's some of the Rays for them there and that little pearl she can get back further than the others
But she's also prefers to hide more than the other so
his tanks new to her she needs to get used to it, and then she'll be out just like the others so we're now a
Couple days into the aquarium all the fish are settling in
Beautifully Ray's are doing fine. There's that little pearl. I told you guys we're in here
She's out with the other ones. Everybody's doing fantastic all the Arowana are happy
Swimming around and joined the aquarium exploring it and of course
I haven't fed the Rays since they've been added, but within the next couple of days
I'll most likely be doing a feeding maybe even today of course
I'll probably post that on Instagram if you guys like those types of feeding videos
I'll leave a link in the description if you're not following me there, but everybody is doing absolutely amazing
Completely satisfied, and you know just blown away by the background in this new scape
And I hope that you guys can see now that the Rays have plenty of room of course
They've already been going up on over the roots underneath of them the video doesn't show
Perspective of you know exactly what this is going to look like but I hope you guys get a general idea at least
huh
But yeah absolutely loving this tank. Oh and Frank's got his little buddy back
Frank and the buy sure they've been hanging out a lot swimming around together
I'm gonna be working on that tank here shortly as well getting them set back up
But Frank wanted to make an appearance of course also got the 375 set up again more on that in a future video
