Wheelman's tank is ok. Too much pink. LMAO!! He should really have a tank thread going too so everyone can see both your tanks. I don't know which to call the Bling Bling and which to call the Swank Tank.
You both should learn from me and have brown frags. Brown is the new rainbow, you know??

No I am not.....:mrgreen: that's not brown buddy that's pure gold! Just like the color of that dress.

Poor copper band, it would be a tough choice if I had to choose...achilles it is! lol but in all honesty, if the achilles starts to pick on the moorish idol I would probably get rid of the Achilles. $&@! why can't they just get alon! :mrgreen:

gregzz4 03-26-2015 04:46 AM

Awesome big guy :mrgreen:

I love that anthias, and I'm glad to see you with an Achilles again
Hope things go well this time !!

Have you tried out the new scraper ?

Have you tried the BRS bulk mag yet ?
I'm curious to see how it mixes ...
Does it come separate; Mag Chloride and Mag Sulfate ?

See you soon ...

Oh, and cheers to tacos :wink:

I use BRS Mag, Ca and Alk aditives and I can say they are awesome, mix very well and never get any stuff at the bottom of the containers... its really good stuff.

Rich - what do you use the most of as I'm going to order a 5gal soon unless you want to meet me @peace arch and pick all four 5g pails of chemicals.

Love your fish collection :)

WarDog 03-26-2015 04:18 PM

Looking good as always buddy! Still can't believe you got a second Achilles, lol.

Like I said before, I'd be happy to take the CB off your hands if need be. He could always technically be your fish, just in my tank, lol!

Thanks Greg, I think I need one more anthias and its gonna to be a sunburst (fathead) I had one back in the days when I first set up the 300, unfortunately they didn't last long but with my current feeding regime I am sure they will do well.

I have the brs bulk stuff on hand now so I will take some pics for you once its mixed. BTW they do come separate.

What do you think about the Tunze Long cleaner?

Thanks!

Bblinks 03-30-2015 09:54 PM

It's worth the $40 that I spent on it. I like this unit cause its easy to use and it will not scratch up your glass. I would say this is one of the best product for 2014.

Ginu 03-30-2015 09:58 PM

I also have this unit on two of my tanks and they are awesome... very small chance to scratch the glass (although there is still a chance).
Also not afraid to go near or in the sand.

I think tunze could have made the unit float, however as it really sucks when it drops while trying to move sides...
Also careful with the blade as its quite sharp.

My 45g cube is made of 10mm starfire glass.

Will the Long version will be sufficient?

Just needed to ask because I had the Hammerhead for my old 120g with 10mm glass but it didn't work well which is why I bought the Tigershark for my cube.

Ginu 03-31-2015 12:11 AM

My tank is a 120g 12mm starphire glass and it works well.. Obviously its not 100% bulletproof and it has flaws but in my opinion its much better than any magnet with a pad on the back of it...

The one flaw is the fact that it doesn't float and my tank is 2" deep and the stand is very high, edge is at about 6'1- 6'2, so its a bitch to remove the screen and reach to the bottom...

But yea to answer your question, the long version will work very well and i haven't had the meet of a strong magnet yet so I don't regret buying it...

All my other magnets make perfect egg crate stands though with a little glue :)

Wretch 03-31-2015 12:18 AM

Ok here is a question for you guys, can you use it on curved glass?

Curved glass like on a bowfront? Or curved like a RSM 130 at the corner?

The magnet has two points of contact only so i will work really well on curved glass of a bow front but I don't see.it working very well on a 90 degree curved edge, nano might work to a certain extent.

Rich,

Is Jeff giving you a kickback for marking the Tunze to help fund your addiction?

No, Rich is still paying off the debt he owed Jeff from helping him with the original 300DD move. Do you know how much Jeff charges one to have his picture posted in a tank thread?? :lol:

one more :biggrin:

BRS mag solution mix, getting a lot of people selling bulk chemicals nowadays but brs is still by far the highest grade money can buy.

5 cup mag chloride and 3 cups sulphate (epsom salt)

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...psctuslkio.jpg

crystal clear all the way through even with superstore exact epsom salt.

I like your frag tree. Is that from Dave in Langley?

BTW, the Tunze Longs are out of stock at JL...........maybe because of your build thread. I'm curious how many people actually went out to buy one because of this thread.
