00W's AIO Smorgasbord

You weren't even born then Tom. You are what... 37?

Yah, right, I forgot. Thanks.

I think PET-CF is THE material for reef tank light mounts. Glad you like them.

Can you make some for me? Lol

 

[tharbin]

Mine are heavy glass ones.

Since I don't have a sump, I rely on the tank surface for gas exchange so I prefer a mesh top. My current lid is slots and I don't care for it but I have lots of other ways to spend my money currently without having a new custom lid made. But someday.

Ah I have a sump so I should be good for gas exchange.

Probably? I don't make whole mounts but rather adapters to mount different light on existing brackets. I know I've seen your light set up and I seem to recall you have another light (maybe an Orphek bar?) that you want to add. Take a good shot of your current light so I can see the mounts and let me see if I can come up with an idea for you.

Yes I will get you a picture tonight.

I went to Columbus a couple times when I was at Ft. Benning for basic/AIT, airborne school and Ranger school.

I was born at Martin Army Hospital on Ft. Benning

Have you checked out Kcleven (I think that's his 'name') he makes all sorts of 3D printed mounts for various lights to attach to RMS and 8020 (extruded aluminum). He has an Etsy store and he's on IG. I've had him make me some custom stuff. I think I contacted him on IG. I'll find his IG username.

Id be so interested in that Rock! I had no idea about this guy. Could be exactly what I need

I was 8 and a half

I was negative 10!

So I know a lot of people don't have lids on their saltwater aquariums but I don't know why they choose to note have one. Can you guys enlighten me?

If I didnt have wrasse, I wouldnt have one. I just think they look better without them.

 

[kingranch2003]

I'd need to spend some time looking at the RMS mounts but I'm sure it could be done. I had a print for mounting a Prime to the RMS mount but I don't really remember the mount that well. I mounted my Blades to 3030 T-Slot with brackets I 3d Printed that attached to the (optional on 39" and below) Clip Mounts from AI for the Blades. I had the grows (which are still pretty blue) so I can't say much one way or the other on the Glows. I'm sure something could be rigged between the Clip Mounts and the RMS Mounts fairly easily.

Im thinking so too Tom. I wish I had a 3d printer and was just maybe 10% more crafty. Im looking at the mount though and thinking it's possible

Wow Rock......you may get tired of hearing this, but I mean it with all my heart when I say thank you for your sacrifices for this country and the citizens. God Bless my friend

I'm cheap

Frugal brother, you're frugal.

New fish looking good today!

 

[kingranch2003]

@tharbin Tom how's the pintail today?

 

[Imrahilwjz]

A good lid is not inexpensive but almost any fish can and will jump given the right motivation. I even had a Mandarin jump once, it didn't get very far but it cleared the rim.

Now maybe if all I had in my tank was a Frogfish or maybe some marauding, murderous fish that I just as soon was gone I might forgo the lid.

I had an target mandarin go carpet surfing in the middle of the night

That Naoko is really pretty, as is everything else.

Just gave the tank a squirt of R.O.E., three happy wrasses.

No, I'm cheap. Unless I'm buying tools.
