Trying to build diy sump filtration out of an 85 litre container.
So far in the tank sponge filter and Fluval U3 and a big Pond airstone.
Planning to buil a diy sump filtration as seen on the image. Hahaha 🤣 is it overkill for an Oscar.
Siphoned water drain down on the bottom then pushes its way up the foam -> floss -> bio media then pump return back filtered water to the aquarium
Update on my newly acquired juvenile 6 inch Oscar,
Image shows what he looks like after 24 hours in new tank. His bit more active but still cautious with me. I tried dropping small cichlid pellets and fluval bug bites but he is still not interested in eating. I see him looking for something on the substrate from time to time.
That image was also taken after 30% water change. And I saw bits of slime coming off him. After the water change.
The missing scales and theres white patch above his left eye. Still there.
Also, I added a big pond airstone in the tank so plenty of oxygen in there.
But still he hasn't eaten anything. But doing some research they do tend to not eat for couple of days after moving due stress driven more than hunger. So will wait and see how he get on.
If you noticed anything please feel free to comment so ill know.
Thanks
