Going to Pick Up My Bat Rays Tonight!!!!!!

[davelin315]

I finally got a mail order filled for 2 Bat Rays. They will be arriving tonight via air freight at around 1:15AM local time. I can't wait! I just finished construction of the pond they will be moving into as well, so for tonight, they will acclimate in my smaller pond, and then tommorrow, I will begin transferring everything over after the pond has been been up and running for a few hours. The bells and whistles are still missing (refugium, 2 surge systems) but they are set up and I just need to do a tiny bit of plumbing and they will be done. I will post some pictures of the unfinished product once I get the bat rays into the pond. I can't wait! And in a year or two, on to the swimming pool that I will convert into a saltwater lagoon (wishful thinking, but who knows, maybe I'll win powerball)!

When it's all done I will post some pictures and if you want to see them, we can set up a day to meet. If you're down in Plainfield, a trip up to some of the stores around here might be pretty fun for you as well. Once they're settled in, I'll put another post up opening the "zoo".
