Gus’s 40 Fusion Reboot

can you mount the lights to a bracket that you can attach to the back of the stand?

not enough room between the wall and the stand for me to work behind the tank.

Hey @DonTavo27 Runner-up????

also I think my plumbing is in the way of any would be useable spot

It sucks losing $100 in fish in under a week because "jumpers".

I had to improvise for my 90. It has two big holes on top(it’s an acrylic so partly covered). My wife ironically came up with a solution. I’m using two mesh style cooling racks that you’d use for baked goods. Actually work really well

hmmmm i thought about the tv mount idea because it lets you move the lights out of the way which is something i cant do and wish i could

Nope. All my tanks have been AIO and nothing has tried to shimmy thru the returns(yet)

i think fish styx did something like this in the beginning but they corroded super fast if I remember correctly

ahhhhh gotcha

Here are my escape hatches:

Mine is covered but it’s heavy (nerve issues in hands) and tacky lol. And also the risk of the foam on the back slipping or the piece of plexi failing causing the panes to fall in.

Luckily it’s been solidish.

and now crickets.....

 

[LadyMac]

Here’s the way it’s balanced lol.

Also, only my fish would get a dang plant stuck in his mouth while spawning.


I mean, why?

 

[Mhamilton0911]

You guys killed this while I was sleeping.

 

[Mschmidt]

All parents have super powers lol.

Some days.

last thing i need is another nem.

If it's getting kicked down the line...

ooohhh welll.... in that case

Or me? You got the last one.

Lol I’ve over 200 emails on just this thread.

I turned those off a long time ago.

So, who’s winning the lid?

Tim. Who else.

If it keeps going down that line hah! Maybe it’ll split so it’ll go down a little more.

@rmorris_14

I repurposed a different lights mount to make mine wall mounted. Super easy.

Or perhaps where you only have a small section to "fill" maybe we can 3d print a filler piece to avoid going so Ziggy zaggy with the screen frame?

Me too... I love CSBs but I have a Joker that keeps splitting.

If y'all looking to get rid of nems. I may have space.

I'm probably going to be working on an @Eagle_Steve Nem Cannon but I have 0 experience shipping live stuff.
