Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
That's a really nice scrubber with all nice extraneous parts. I wish I had the room or need for one at that price.
I am making my 3rd prototype for my algae reactor. will have two sizes so far, for sumps and small cubes. The one I made is on my 300. Works great its 6x4x12..working on the 3rd design. Soon I willhave some for sale...My design allows you to take out the screen without turning the unit off and alows for the water to keep running while the screen part is out while you clean it.

Very interesting! I think the nano and cube market has been largely missed in this area. Ive been looking at some of the upflow scrubbers on the market for smaller tanks. Honestly I can't wait to see how yours turns out. Im very interested in that
 
COFFEE !!!!! I am waiting for it..lol....dog wont go outside cause its raining....she is a princess..lol///
Good morning Rumple, my dog is the same!

She got her brother to come out of retirement and up on the stage to play. His band played at my wife and I’s wedding reception.

Thanks, the nano cube idea came from feed back from reefers and from my friend who owns a company that sells tank stuff.
I am working on tank lids designs too.
MIght as well make use of the cnc, laser cutter and acrylic bender...
I can tell ya my plan is to sell them at affordable lower prices, if market bears prices on acrylic, polycarbonate and colored materials...maybe we should chat.. I can use a few test people out of AZ...once I make a few...
