I'm surprised that it is easy to take it out when it is jammed in there tight enough to not fall down, not to mention not scratching the glass. Glad it worked out for you I would have never thought about doing it that way.

AZ magnets wouldn't work because screen frame is aluminium.

Tight but not that tight.

And scratching is not an issue because only the plastic corners are really all that tight. The aluminum frame pretty flexible.

  No clips, no magnets. The screen top sits in there with friction alone. I spent a good amount of time sizing the frame exactly. I can slip the top in and out with relative ease, and yet when it is in there it is solid.



Nice...  Well planned and executed...

Oh I see it now (in my head that is ;D) The plastic corners on the silicone of the tank corners. That is pretty clever.

Picked up a copperband and an ornate leopard wrasse from Az yesterday.

Once the moonlights came on, the ornate came out. Bad news though. She couldnt swim properly, like her head was too heavy, kept nose diving into everything.

I am hoping she is dazed from transport, and not poisoned with cyanide.

This morning I woke up looking for a body but it appears as if she buried herself again. I guess time will tell. 

Copperband is cute anyways, going to get him some blackworms, Critter Jungle has got them in for me before.

Kole,
  Try blackworms, you can get critter jungle to bring them in for you. They are much more nutritional than bloodworms. You can only get them live as far as I know. Gross but very effective. I used them when I weaned my multibanded dwarf angel onto prepared foods.

And Yes I buy pretty much all my fish at aqua valley.

Hey,

Just curious where you got your plumbing from, specifically the gate valves that branch off to your reactors? I'd like to do something similar by running my reactors off my return pump.

Thanks!

ataller

I get the PVC fittings from PVC industrial.

Bulk reef supply is also pretty much one stop shopping for PVC fittings.

Great tank by the way!!

ataller

Thanks,

I made some changes in the basement (plumbed in a 70G rubbermaid stock tank) and added some frags (zoas and sps) to the display I will try and get some pictures up.
