My scissortail dartfish. He made it through the netting on the first day in the tank. 1/8 netting btw....

Hey @Isaac Alves , interested? (long time no see/hear)

@Isaac Alves Ditto! Haven't seen you in a while. Maybe have to have another ReefCleaners party in 2024.

*this isn't one of my bonuses

Too funny, I've been tinkering with some ideas for the very same thing. I could describe it verbally but I think if I drew it up it would make more sense. I'll get to it.

I need to figure out something like this for curved acrylic. I have a 36" diameter cylinder tank that's getting ready for water, but I don't want to start it up as a reef tank until I have an easy and reliable cleaning plan in place. And that plan doesn't include hand scraping coralline and that green plaque algae that's even worse to get off.

I got to thinking about this last night and thought of an easier solution. Thinking outside the box, who said the mag scrappers have to be rigid? I had ordered a diatomaceous earth powder puffer thingy and was squeezing the bulb when it hit me. Why not make it out of silicone? With the right thickness (and alternating magnets like my first example), it could retain enough rigidity yet have enough flex to conform to the radius. (Maybe even have some "leaf spring" style radial arms molded into it.) Now that's something I would buy (and I DIY almost everything).

@stoney7713 interested in winning a lid and Plank Feeder for the tank?

 

[tbrown]

@sadrobotz this could make you @Ecstaticrobotz?

 

[Dburr1014]

Oh, cool.
I've always wanted to try that feeder. I like the way it spins the food until it gets waterlogged and sink. I have the food from Avast , just not the feeder.

 

[tbrown]

Hey @7of9 might you be interested?

I haven't seen her in a bit...

 

[stoney7713]

Official entry
An automatic feeder would definitely help, I'm up to 3 SW tanks so any and all automations are welcome!

 

[Dburr1014]

TANK TALK: What's been your most expensive / heartbreaking fish loss due to jumping?

This guy, he never made it out of quarantine. I put an auto feeder on and had the slightest hole and he found it.

 

[stoney7713]

TANK TALK: Do you already own and use any Avast equipment? If so, what is your favorite and why? If not, is there anything at the top of your list?

I don't yet. I have been looking at the ATO and Ozone. I have a few more tanks now so another ATO is in the future.

I have been thinking of giving Ozone a try for awhile, just haven't made that final decision yet.

@rmorris_14 you are talking about a lid, here might be a free one.

 

[Mschmidt]

@tbrown hope you win a lid for your new tank.

 

[Reeflix]

@Reeflix should be entering?

I don’t need a lid, should I be entering? I don’t need one, so I would prefer if someone who needed it got it.

 

[sadrobotz]

@sadrobotz this could make you @Ecstaticrobotz?

i sure bet it could, what do i need to do?
