thanks everyone it was a tuff but it was alot of fun and i hope u all enjoy it and that it works out in the end

Just a thought. Did you gut the metal out of it. Any unprotected metal would most likely corrode and copper / brass would be toxic to marine life.

 

Man why didn't I think of something like that DOH!

[Hatcher2014 10]

im not really sure what type of metal it is but i think im pretty safe but just to make sure im going to get an eye on it but for the most part it all seems to be doing fine no discoloration in the water but when the wife gets back from visiting family we will take it apart and spray the underneath part of the gumball machine other than that there really isnt any other place but thanks for the heads up on it.

Now that's really cool, you guys should have a category for the most creative!

[Islandoftiki 288]

Well done! That's just plain cool.

 

You need to do a thread on nano-reef.com

Well it was for sure my wife's idea I just came up with the design ideas and she helped build it i just hope it goes well if I would have used a square bowl it would have taken away the magnifying look but I didn't think it would have looked as cool

We have a winner!!!! This is seriously cool; I am blown away. I had never seen the little heat sinks before, they look like they work really well.

[Hatcher2014 10]

yeah the heat sinks work awesom but im having problem with the water evaporation getting on the leds so im trying to figure out how to stop that so thats in the development right now

You may be able to cut some vent holes in the lid so the water can escape without condencing, you seem to have some DIY skills.

[Hatcher2014 10]

yeah i have thought about it but the thing is... is that im trying to keep the integrity of the gumball machine if that makes any sense.. but im still scheming. but thanks for the idea and im afraid thats what i might have to do

[Hatcher2014 10]

alright everyone i have another question regarding the clean up crew Garret is having a really big sale on clean up crews and i was thinking about going up there and getting a 100 mexican red leg hermits at .69 cents each and and hundred Black Nassarius Snails at .39 cents each cause i need these for my big 265 gallon tank so if i do this can i count each one for the 69cents and 39 cents allowing me to have more than someone else just need some clarifaction on that thanks.

[Derbird 696]

Sounds good to me. Plus if the new amendment goes through you wont even have to worrie about it. All live stock would be free

 

You may want to wait until you see some algea growth in the tank before adding them though. Don't want your critters to starve. They can just wait in the 265 until your bubble gum tank is ready. Still very cool by the way.
