goin_all_out Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 hey folks, any ideas for making a barrier to stop fish from jumping into the back filtration department? iv looked at steveT's barrier but i live in canada and $20 for shipping on a $14 piece is not financially there for me. (nothing against you steve, just an issue with living in canada) Link to comment
The_Yellow_Pony Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 pvc pipe...notched part way to sit over the edge... PVC +dremel = DIY fishguard. I am not taking credit. I saw this idea in another thread. Edit: It was SpankythePyro's thread. Link to comment
Hanser Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I have a BC29 and my maroon clown would get in the back chambers all the time...I used leaf gutter guard, you can get it at Home Depot or another home improvement store, its plastic and can be cut to fit your tank. there is even a slit for it to slide over dividing wall.

TUDIZZLE Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I have a BC29 and my maroon clown would get in the back chambers all the time...I used leaf gutter guard, you can get it at Home Depot or another home improvement store, its plastic and can be cut to fit your tank. there is even a slit for it to slide over dividing wall. gutter guard for sure... Got a 2ft piece of gutter guard for 99 cents cut it down a little bit and snapped it on to the baffle wall. what it looks like from the store I just used cooking shears and cut it along the bottom row of diamonds. I did it in two pieces, one acroos the majority of the wall and then a small piece over the grill since it was slightly higher The wall is a little wide across so it takes a little finessing to get it to snap into place. But once it is in it is solid I got mine at Home Depot in the roofing section near the gutter supplies. Brown or white were the only two colors but it is not even visible from the tank.

StevieT Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 ^ gutter guard Eggcrate other plastics I understand the costs. I do ship a lot of fish savers by themselves to Canadia. Then there are those that add in the media basket etc since from there every extra pound isn't that much in shipping cost. USPS is the cheapest at $20 for one pound, I really wish I could get that lower, I have tried. Link to comment
