wow nice altum jervis.. tempting! but too bad, 2ft is too small for them.
2ft is too small for altums?
Cheers,
Andrew
Mine was quite a few years back already. Lost them to clamp fins...deadly man.
Stress might be one of the reasons. BTW, did you use UV for your tank?
I am thinking about ozonizer killing parasite / bacterias in the water column. But have not tried one yet. I am very curious if we run an ozonizer, will we still be able to sustain the desirable CO2 level in the water.
yup. 2ft way too small for them..
was told that altum need at least tank height of 2ft..
so 322 or 422 tank would be good..
aren't you getting a 322 soon Evo? you can QT the altums a month or 2 in your 2ft before transferring them to your 322
wah the altum tail gone liao...
hopefully they can survive well!
all the best!
With the introduction of altums into your tank, i guess rainbows for your 4ft tank is out?

The tail already like that when I bought it... guess I am too noob to take extra note of that I really hope it can recover.
Yeah... gotto change my original plan slightly. Will see how things goes
Thanks! The thing about beauty is... it seldom lasts
Here's something sad to report... because of my carelessness and stupidity... 2 Altums ended up on my filter floss I didn't modify my overflow comb... apparently the gaps are wide enough
Just to add... I've immediately added an extra layer of eggcrate right after the overflow comb to fix the problem.
Just an update on my tank system.
Here's the sump tank
My cooling fan controlled by Aquatronica. Hopefully will be able to maintain my tank water not exceeding 28慢
This is a feature to make water change easier. Just release the valve and the tank water will drain off to the water outlet inside the pantry
All in all... a messy old tank
