They get stuck between the roller guides that I have on the bottom, then the paper tears. I think I mounted my rollers too close to the screen. I may make my mat a little smaller. It is pretty ginormous. Its roughly 12x 12 on the bottom with angles sides. When full it holds probably 7 gallons of water and the weight of that water causes problems. -

Our resident Vancouver welder is Scott aka... ugggh, what is his user name? @spectra He runs his own fabrication shop and is a professional welder. You can also tell him "bro, you don't even have a tank anymore". LOL

I think the shelled guys are good to have when you are establishing your tank but after the year mark, yeah, they are just kind of nuisance really and eventually succumb to wrasses or trigger fish. I do keep about 10 fighting conch in the DT for sand bed duty and a couple of sand sifting starfish. I have about 12-15 peppermint shrimp in my entire system to control any aptasia that pop up and they have worked surprisingly well at that even though I have only seen ONE, ONCE. A handful of hermit crabs for bubble algae and I don't no... nine tangs? And there isn't much left to clean up and I feed HEAVILY. Probably 1.5 lbs of fresh food a month. -
MY ATO container is literally 10x the size of all the water holding vessels in that picture. But then again, I went full retard and we all know, you NEVER go full retard.

My Deep Seee coral flipper isn't strong enough :(
pdxmonkeyboy replied to pdxmonkeyboy's topic in General Discussion
I am worried that I might end up opening some kind of space time portal with all the high power magnets I have I have a great white as well, I don't know why i didn't try that. Will do it tonight. -
So i bought the "deep seee flipper max" tank viewer thing-e-majig. wEll, with 1" thick acrylic the magnet isn't strong enough to hold it in place. Was thinking I could glue another magnet on the external piece... You think that would work? Or do I need to put new magents on both ends.. like maybe cut the existing magent out, super glue an additional magnet on there and then dunk the whole thing in epoxy? thoughts>?

That would satisfy my aquarium hunger for about, hmmmm, 6 minutes? Cool setup though! What skimmer are you using? LOL

The BRS study found that the absolute most effective method was acid then bleach. Nutrient levels were almost half of just bleach. If you have pukani i would think about soaking for a couple weeks becuase they do seem to leach out phos even if they are bone white and dry. -
Freds sound of music in hawthorne has some nice stuff. I auditioned a bunch of speakers there. I don't like the sounds of the really "accurate" speakers. Kind of like the guy in the video said, it gets fatiguing.

The nicest looking fish in the ocean. Change my mind

The bleeding edge of audiophile is kind of ridiculous, almost as ridiculous as some SPS. I had a home theater where i built soundproofing and accustic dampening panels, built a bill fitz maurice tuned horn subwoofer, and the adjusted the frequency response with a db meter and barringer feedback destroyer EQ. It sounded AWESOME but how much more awesome than standard setup? Maybe 20% better. That subwoofer though. WOW. I used to play call of duty and even with the theater in the basement, double 5/8 drywall with green glue, decoupled ceiling and solid wood doors i would rattle the upstairs window firing the sherman tank

What you really need is the TK421 mod on your system.
