My Piranha tank setup

[designo]

My 10 baby Red Belly Piranhas have now become 12. And from only being 1.5 inches, they are now well over 4 inches long!!!

So they needed to be moved into a bigger tank! And so it had to be done!! A new 300 Gallon tank was brought in where they will spend the rest of their blood thirsty lives in!

Okaaaaay!

So, I'm using these two filters alongside the original two that came along with the tank. It's so obvious our boys are custom-making tanks to the exact copy of those chinese imports for even cheaper! Damn didnt know it was possible to be cheaper than the chinese!!!

So here are the external filter which wont be used cause I need to modify the rear panel of the tank. And the other canister filter with very strong powerhead!





The tank with the substrate in!





The substrate used!



And my drift wood which has been soaking in there for 2 days! I'll give them another day or so and some scrubbing!



I obviously undersestimated the quanitity of sand i needed, turns out I only needed one bag, I BOUGHT FOUR!!!!! Damnit!!!



I am gonna use these standard filters during the initial cylcing period, I will probably put some old medium in there and run it for a few days along with the original tank water. Then lets see what happens!

And the hose goes in!



The water goes up!



Oh and guess what I finally found! Yoohooo, thought I would never find them here! My own personal test kits!!!! yippeeeee...

Ahaaaaa.... so now we wait!

The tank is full! The filters are ON!!! All working OK!





Makin loooooove.... under the mooonlight!

Yipeeeeee, my 12 baby red's have moved in!

That must have been a the most tiring 2 days ever. And the moment of transition was a little frightning! Two of them played dead only moments after being dropped into the new tank!

The wife was convinced they were dying and she must have freaked out and almost cried. I had to explain to her this was normal but NO WAY!! I had to restrain her from taking them out again!!!! LOL

So... all tests were carried out and paramters were better than expected:

NO2 = 0, NO3 = 0, NH4 = 0, PH = 6.4
Water conditioner in, General Aid in, Bacteria In, Old medium and tank water in!! All good.

It took them 45 minutes and they were all over the place exploring!!! I loved watching them spread their fins and sprint all the way acrosss!!!! Woooohooo....









OLD TANK!!!
