    Everything inside was tore off and removed. Including some very heavy rocks, tones of sand, and arowannas.

    Rocks cascades used as water fall. This is also the platform where sprinklers were installed and 2 big bed of java ferns was grown.


    The entire gravel bed was first layered a 5 giant bags of peat moss, follow by JBL base fertilizers and then lapis sand.

    It was 2 tones of lapis sand carried by me and my friend. And the light frame was custom made using stainless steel, as big as a goal post.

    Water was pumped in to clean up the tank.


    No pictures taken in between.

    The woods and big logs are lowered into the pond, planted and half filled.

    There were some delays and the lights were now coming in.


    The wood are the skeleton for the java fern bed on the water fall and boulders. Put out of walking path for now.

    It belongs to a customer.

    Definitely still around today. Maintenance yes, but not weekly. Imagine 3000L of water changed each time?

    whoaaaaaaaa what a gigantic beauty of nature... Can you give us information about the size of that aquarium? How much lights do you use (watts)? How about the fertilization regime? Thanks
