Cut out little notches on the side of the mesh top for the cords.

toss that flipper, try the tunze care magnet, the plastic blade is so good that it even gets the tough coraline off, no need to use the metal blade.

 

[dwair]

No I'm keeping the flipper, just going to use a magic eraser in between both sides. I've read some bad reviews on the tunze care magnet specifically related to acrylic, so thats why i didn't go that route.

 

[nyfishkid87]

+1 on the tunze care magnet. Make sure it's magic eraser original because that one has no chemicals. By the way. Sweet set up.

 

[dwair]

Yep, I've got originals. And Thank you for the kind words on my setup!

Here's some rockscaping I did tonight. The mat the rock is on is the exact dimensions inside the tank. Tell me what you think.


HONEST opinions. If it looks like doggy poo, tell me, just state what you would fix please

 

[jcdeng]

dont know if you notice but the middle 3 rocks form look like the male genitals, no offense. And the 2 arches, I would make the arch smaller, may add another flat piece on top of the arch for more coral real estate.

 

[dwair]

Don't understand by you saying to make the arch smaller but yet add to it?

 

[dwair]

Okay, taken under consideration. Changed. Thoughts now?

Looking good Dwair. I like the tank. How did the buffing turn out?

 

[dwair]

Haven't done it yet. Getting the Novus kit tomorrow, been waiting on it to come in. Couldn't find it locally so had to order it online. I'll be testing it tomorrow night after work.

 

[nyfishkid87]

I am liking this. If want to add layer you can drill into the base rocks on the right hand side with acrylic rods to make kind of a bonsai theme

 

[nyfishkid87]

Like this

 

[nyfishkid87]

But anyways your scape looks great.

 

[dwair]

Problem with that is, I don't have those types of rock. And I've spent enough money lol. Going to use what I've got.

 

[dwair]

But anyways your scape looks great.

Thanks!

 

[nyfishkid87]

If you got it, use it lol. That's my motto lol

 

[dwair]

Okay, got my Novus kit in and tested it out on the scratches.


HOLY CRAP!




Easy peasy, gone just like that. This stuff is magic in a bottle. Anyone thats got Acrylic, this stuff is your best friend, so easy to use, not that much elbow grease, especially if you get the buff pad for drill. Works great!


Tank looks brand new again

 

[Greenstreet.1]

Happy to hear bud.

 

[nyfishkid87]

That is good to know about the novus kit. If you can it would be nice if you have before and after pics to compare how the novus kit work
