Superb build. Really great job with what you pulled together.
I only see one magfloat. Why not 3 and let the kids do it for you

thanks greg... i had a dream...lol

yeah no i clean the glass. they are happy with feeding the fish even if the clowns try to bite the hands that feed them. and honestly i only need to clean the glass once every 3 days it gets a lil dusting on it.

it was a fun build but as a hint to all make rockwalls in summer so you can air out the epoxy that stuff is potent..but still my fav tank at the moment

sooo i decided to do a major clean on the 50 today which involved removing the lid as im scraping and scrubbing getting bti by my clowns i happened to peekk into my overflow....i see pink and yellow hanging out on the bottom of the overflow im like wtf.. there is my missing gramma.. now i thought the gramma had died its been like 4 months since ive seen it. so score 1 for me i now have 4 fish in my 50 lol. fished him out got hmback in the display but now i have to add a screen so it doesnt happen again... and a lid to the new tank for future refrence there is no way ill be able to fish out anything n that tank if it gets behind. so surprised it was alive

Glad to hear you found your buddy

4 months

Even 4 weeks would be huge.

In my old 125g FW I had a breeding pair of Sterbais ( SeaHorse Fanatic has them now ).
About, oh, I don't know, 4-6 weeks after their last laying session, I took apart one of the XP3 filters

cleaned it all out, tossed the floss, rinsed the foams, and dumped the canister body out.
As the sink is emptying, there's a wiggler in the drain. It's another Sterbai

It survived all that time in the dark with only detritus. And that was from either an egg or a fry

I threw it in the DT and it grew fast with fresh food
