*** Tank Talk with Top Lids & Avast Marine Giveaway!! WIN a Plank Autofeeder and Custom Lid for Your Tank!! ***

[Mschmidt]

I don't know anyone here personally so I will refrain but feel free for anyone to roast me lol.

@slythy lame. can't even roast me? you have seen how serious I am.

Truth! But it all worked out in the end???

Looks kinda bare after downsizing the GSP last night.

meh (bonus roast for funsees).

@Mschmidt You need to clean your tank's glass again.

that's perennial, like painting the golden gate bridge, once I finish one end, gotta start over on the other.

 

[rmorris_14]

Roast? 2 people roasted me. LOL

hmm

Idk who I roast.... but i do know @rmorris_14 was asking me for lid tips. I sent her a ducktape and screen hack i was considering lolol

i thought he was joking...but it turns out he was serious

 

[rmorris_14]

I think that I would feel better about my lid situation. Currently the metal around the edges of my diy kit is rusting.

The plank would be an awesome addition, Part of the reason I havent gotten an automatic feeder is re configuring my lid to work.

All of my fish are pretty fat... lol but its because im home most days to feed them. Anthias would probably benefit the most from more frequent smaller feedings

BONUS ROAST:

@Nate Chalk Your clown fish is so fat.....Once she jumped in the water, everyone ran out yelling, "Tsunami!"

My At At is being encrusted slowly but surely! Electric Daisy and Rainbow Monti are starting to cover the legs. Soon it'll be a Sparkly At At.

@steveschuerger your build thread could use more pictures, people like to see pictures every now and again.

Moar? Will doo!

TANK TALK: Let's play Roast-a-Reefer: Tag a reef friend in here who would benefit from winning this giveaway, but roast them a little in your post (keep it friendly... we're not trying to make anybody angry. Haha! And be sure to roast people you know will appreciate it). You can do this up to 3 times today for 3 entries.

I don't know anyone on a personal level quite yet, but I'm down to get roasted. For the sake of the contest though, I'll start with numero uno...
@kevgib67 For trying to trick me with a Skunk cleaner shrimp as a freshwater shrimp. Nice try mister, but not today! I'm slow...but not THAT slow!

I would do more active wrasses and another Lawnmower blenny.

Do blennies really make a lot of mess on sand corals though? I want wrasses but I have no idea which ones I should get and how many.

I don't know anyone here personally so I will refrain but feel free for anyone to roast me lol.

Me neither. I'll be your punching bag!

Currently the metal around the edges of my diy kit is rusting.

Oof...I just got a couple diy kits myself. That makes me worried. I would love a TopLid!

This cracked me up! Perfect gif reference for the previous comment. Very quick witted!

Bonus Roast: @tbrown

I had ZERO context to this joke. Which is understandable considering the level of ignorance I have for being new and the various friendships here. Then I saw the reply by @tbrowand his picture of...whatever the hell that was supposed to be and I was rolling! You guys are brutal! Haaaa haaaa. Love it!

TANK TALK: Share a story, pictures, or video of feeding time in your aquarium.

I am just not that creative. My feeding is not worthy of s story.
Twice a day the autofeeder twirls and a mix of crushed flakes and TDO pellets drop down the feeding tube into the tank. The Coral Beauty dashs to the corner and eats as much as she can before the other fish notice and join in. In the evening the fish come to the front of the tank and wait for frozen mysis, brine shrimp and krill to be squirted into the tank. The end.

 

[GuppyHJD]

TANK TALK: If you won this contest, what animal do you feel you’d be better equipped to successfully keep?

The Plank feeder would help feed the wrasses in the tank who need feed multiple times a day.

I'm roasting @Fishy Guy for having an awesome neocaridina tank and showing it off with such gusto! How dare you throw that beauty in my face! Don't you care about people feelings man?!

My Starry Blenny likes to eat sand and then swim over the top of my Gonis and... Well, I think you get the idea. He eats sand and has to dispose of it somehow.

That's my internal refugium stand. The suction cups don't stay holding on and the bracket I printed broke and released my female clown into the tank. I decided to make it out of Egg Crate and turn it into a frag holder.

I mean...it does kinda look like an AT-AT! Haa haaa. It's actually a great frag holder. There's a reason why so many still use it.

I mean, I developed a new frag rack design I like to lovingly call EggRagORacks. Egg Crate frames and DIY Aragocrete rocks with holes for frag plugs. Half of my tank is egg crate and Aragocrete...

DIY Aragocrete rocks

Do tell! Do you have a thread walking folks through trying it. I need to do some shaping here ASAP and would like to make my own reef safe mortar if possible. Or is the only way, buying some of the pricey stuff?

I used Portland Cement, Aragonite sand, and water softener salt crystals.

This one's in my build thread.

Build Thread - 125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

Yep. I told her that the box is full of live animals. She said I can expect it tomorrow. I said "What good is a box full of dead animals?" Exactly. I've had those conversations with shippers. One of the reasons i hate ordering.

This is a thread I made.

EggRagoRack Homemade Hybrid Frag Rack

So when doing research early on in my reefing I came across a couple of interesting projects : Egg Crate Frag Racks and Aragocrete homemade cement/aragonite sand rocks. Egg Crate racks are simple and efficient but not overly pretty. Take some egg crate light diffuser and cut it to size. Using...

And another one.

Aragocrete/Egg Crate hybrid DIY Frag Racka

So I started an experiment! I have made some Aragocrete rocks in the past and they're doing swell. I made an Aragocrete cover for my PVC return pipe inside the tank and it's also doing swell. However, there have been some recent discussions about frag racks and I have several egg crate light...
