I need tank ideas...

[Anonymous]

Found this little beauty at work. It is a 12" acrylic cube with 1" thick walls, thus it is around 4g when filled nearly to the top. From what I can gather it was a sample prototype for a surge tank on a temperate system, thus the uber-thick walls and the holes in it.

What should I do with it? I'm thinking a small candy basslet...

I think it's not going to hold water very well with that big circular hole at the bottom

Otherwise, L.carmabi would be really sweet

What became of your little shrimp tank?

Both shrimp died despite getting preggers and shedding several times... :? Maybe they just have short lifespans.

That tank is still sitting at home waiting for a light, which I am procrastinating on by setting up a different tank.

I drilled that with Rich's help. The smaller holes were already there. I want to do a Vortech MP10 on the bottom pane but it needs 3/8" thick wall or less. I'll cover the hole with a 1/4" thick circle of acrylic.

Anyone have ideas for a slick looking cover that allows gas exchange? I want something like the window screen with bird netting but a bit more tidy looking.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe some harlequins?
As for the new tank, those colorful mantis shrimp are awefully cool; lets see them try to bust through 1" acrilic :twisted: .

Something purple and encrusting that covers the sides, back bottom, and a crazy green acro. Nothing else.

Figured you would say 10 Octopus chierchierchae or whatever they're called.

Undata on the sides, green slimer in the middle?

Undata on the sides, EPM or PM or Blue Tort in the middle, and one dragonface pipefish or a some yashas or some other silly mini goby.

Matt I have enough 1/8" clear netting for the top and I suspect I could get my friend to CnC a nice frame for it to sit on the top. I'll whip up a little diagram and show you at MACNA.

Ton and tons of ideas for the tank... just can't post em all. Cool tank LOVE it

I bet you can "find" lots of cool aquariums at work. I bet you can even "find" something to put in it.

Nah, I think it's just Gen likes to over-engineer the hell out of everything he builds

I say put some gummi fish in it and use it for a candy dish

I have a feeling it is not from Gen. There are much better builders the public aquariums use.

I like that idea.

Well Gen built a bunch for Steinhart, so I assumed it was a leftover like the one he donated to the club after his talk.

Gen? Who's that? Work for a company?

How bout some dwarf seahorses, seagrass, and non-photosythetic gorgs that could be fun.
