    Seaweed holder

    I just made this to hold the seaweed. The clip is not strong and the fish pull the sheet off. I will cut a slot so it slides over the clip lip. The seaweed gets stuck in PH which may be why fish are getting caught and killed. 69 cents for the mesh sheet and I had zip ties.

    I know I'm crazy but...

    Saw a 100g tank for sale $200 It comes with built overflows, stand and canopy No leaks but is 15 years old. Is it worth upgrading to? I have no room to store tank and reseal it, plus no clue how. It would have to be plug play. Thoughts?
