    Another question peeps

    Hockeynut used to do something like this. He used 40g's and would run a central section with rock, planted macro, and a cuc. Looked great (though it was under cabinet) and from what he'd tell me, it worked well. But, he was using a full 40g tank and had a high nutrient (and balanced) system. I...

    Marine Magic algae scrubber

    Just took a dive on one of these... https://www.marinemagic-online.com/?product=marine-magic-ultra-slim-algae-scrubber Seems a reasonable build. Don't have the time or resources to build my own at this point, and I've read some iffy reviews on the Santa Monicas and the CoralVues, plus I needed...

    Filter Media Cups

    When I used cups I would take a normal plastic cup and invert it. Then I would trim aeound the rim until the upside down plastic cup fit snugly into the plastic holder. This would create a false floor in the plastic holder, raising the floss level up quite a bit so that water had to flow through...

    Well, 2020 continues to astound me

    My cousin is an agent and though he cant really talk about his work he has shared some stories of when he was a new agent. Apparently the FBI is required to investigate everything assigned, so the new agents get the crap work. He’s told me stories from petty neighbor complaints to a guy that...

    Diana’s build

    Diana, When I drilled my old 40 i put two beams on the ground and placed the tank on them, with the side i wanted to drill on the bottom (closest to the floor/ground). Then I filled that side of the tank with water so I had a 1/2” layer of coolant/lubricant - the lip of the tank keeps the water...

    Well, 2020 continues to astound me

    But seriously - a federal case? I can see it now in FBI headquarters, morning brief: 'Agents, good work on that Armenian spy ring, look like the missiles are safe. This morning we're tracking a bitcoin exchange regarding 200Ks of heroin coming out of Bogota destined for... HOLD iT! MY GOD...

    Well, 2020 continues to astound me

    I'm not %^&$$%$# with you. This happened this evening. A few months back I ordered a hand stitched leather Halloween mask from Ebay, paid through Paypal. It was from a Chinese company, but I took the chance anyway as the item looked incredible. I received a cheap $5 latex mask with a broken...

    $99 Harbor Freight Generator

    I tried not to go too cheap on mine. Picked up a Wen that can easily tuck away and run both tanks, the fridge, and an AC if necessary. Its listed for $450 atm but it goes on sale often, maybe check it on Black Friday. Think I got it for something like $325...

    Crazy Fish Tanks?

    Always liked the idea of one of those glass-top coffee table aquariums done up like a shallow reef or invert tide pool.

    WTB Scrubber - Brick 08724

    Looking to try a scrubber, small one for a 30g. Anyone have one available? Barring that, was looking at a couple models from Santa Monica, namely the HOG 1.3. Anyone have experience with them?

    Broke the silencer on my Eshopps S200.

    Can you post a link? I saw members only pricing on things but could not see that part. If you have to be a business to be a member, I have an LLC. I can register and pick it up up for you. Or, is it something that can be 3d printed?
