everytime u go to some one's place... u will say,

"wow! nice marine tank u have there!"

"no lah. where got."

wonder does it ever go...

"wow! nice marione pond u have there!"

recently... due to some reasons... by father decided to give up his fish pond...

the oscars got too aggressive.... start attacking birds who come and bathe in the pond... i am serious... i had to clear the bones a few times... think my dad feed it too much prawns already.... but anyway...

he told me he deciding to give up the pond... and i was thinking of maybe converting it to marine fish pond!! :P wonder if it is workable.... if cannot... then prob i can convert it to a refugium... :P

its approximately 12 feet by 4 ft 9 inches by 2 feet deep... thats the approximate pond size alone...

any comments???

Outdoor? Rain? Evaporation? Bird shit/pee?

Need to build a clear canopy on top to cover the entire pond?

Monsoon season (No Sun?) Installed 2000W MH over the 12 ft??

Water movement? 4x MD 55?

my dad gave up on koi... he used to be quite into it... he grew some kois frm baby to about 4 to 5 feet long....

but that time... when we still living at old place (bukit timah) (the pond was about 3 metres deep at deepest point) the kois all mysteriously died one by one when we were finalising plans to move house... talking a total of almost 50 kois....

The problems of evaporation, etc can be surmounted, and with natural sunlight shld be better than the best mh; who knows, esp with good filtration, etc, the issues of controlling algae growth etc shld also be doable.

However, the practicality of the situation is what kind of marine fish/ls u intend to keep. Most corals and fish are best viewed from the side and not the top, so u will be spending a lot of money on something that may not show off to its best advantage.

UNless u go for a shark/stingray set-up with clams and some colourful coral. Or just plain FOWLR with sharks and rays.

sharks is prob out of the question.... but house is usually flooded with relatives over the weekends... small cousins... some in pre-school.... my mum did mentioned sharks is a definate no-no when she saw the 2 sharks at coral farm last sunday...

but rays.... can consider.... but.. when tangs grown too big... proberly can sell to ppl who have bigger tanks... but when my shark or ray too big.... who can i sell to??? people who have bigger ponds than me???

and also.... anyone here with any experience on keeping sharks and ray???

Ironically sharks are safer than rays! Black tip sharks are small and don't bite, whereas most rays carry a powerful sting in their tails.

Sharks are much maligned; apparently even the great whites do not like human flesh, often attacking humans thinking they are seals, which is their more natural prey....

Anyway, think of the scare value to your cousins!
