There's something fishy about this build...

[fishguy242]

Think Tim nailed it , hope so cuz I just passed info around on an id thread...
googled looks right,can't believe they want 3$ a piece for them...

Can’t be bothered to read the whole thread but was someone suggesting large fish cause tank seam failures?

So some quick math. I found that the force of the pressure on the long pane of a full 4x2x2 tank is a constant 2222 Newtons. A sailfish can accelerate at 17.5m/s^2. 2222/17.5 = 127kg = 280lbs. So a 280lb sailfish swimming accelerating at full speed would only equal the force of pressure. Assuming a tank is designed to withstand 3x what it is supposed to hold (the general minimum for engineering) you’d need two 280lb sailfish or one 560lb sailfish to swim away at full speed to break a tank seam.

Someone check my math?

So the limit is two sailfish for my 80gal? Niiiice!

Seems mathy enough to me. So you're saying I could potentially have a 450 lb Sailfin with no adverse affects on my tank seams???

Beat me to it

Well apparently they are around 220lbs at 10ft so you’ll need to get some flexible ones.

What's my signature say? Maybe they should read it...

What's under your name? I'm going to heed your advice.

Someone check my math?

Nah.

Oi... im missing a lot of fun here.

Im guna have to rehome my large fishies to a seamless tank now.

Columbella mercatoria looks close. It's a Dove Snail most likely?

Yeah, it's a Dove Snail - the bottom two have a less common coloration, but the one on the top left gives it away:

Yeah, this is probably the Dotted/Lettered Dove Snail, Euplica scripta - it's a keeper if so:

Look up Euplica scripta (it has a lot of color variations, so look at a bunch of different images to compare with) and see if that seems to be a match.

Euplica scripta is apparently primarily a sea grass-epiphytic algae-eater;* so it feeds primarily on algae that grows on sea grass; interestingly, this makes them (and a few other common Columbellids) quite different dietarily than the vast majority of their relatives.**

Cool!

I wonder if there are any snails that can clean up algae on Gracilaria spp. Much less of a foothold than Caulerpa or other wide-bladed macroalgae.

Wow
I feel attacked. Luckily I have proof to the contrary
