Nice grow-out tank! He might appreciate a cave or two, but it looks wonderful. He's adorable - how big is he?

You need to update your profile for your new fahaka. :)

Sticky ones aren't as accurate. How about an in-tank plastic one, or a probe?

Then its actually 105 UK/ 126 US gallons. Juwel dont take into account the space the filter takes up when measuring tank volume for some bizare reason but perhaps A Juwel Rio 477.46 doesnt have the same ring to it. :D
