patrick1234 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 All right so I filled it up today to water test.......... Im going to have to make the slots deeper.... Link to comment
--chris-- Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 All right so I filled it up today to water test.......... Im going to have to make the slots deeper.... If that ATO above wont fit, i know the top offs from autotopoff.com will fit. They measure about 3x3" max (i think smaller, but i am guessing larger here). Ive been using one of those & a toms aqualifter for 4 months now without a single problem. Link to comment

edge0310 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i would do without the brittle star in the cuc. i think it would get too big and is just unnecessary. Link to comment
patrick1234 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Well its way to go time. So I had taken the tank down to clean it so when the rest of the stuff comes in tom I was ready to set it up. well I was being lazey and did not fill like taking the pump off the back wall and when I went to flip it over to get the rest of the water out and shake it. Well It put a nice snap in the glass . Sooooooo tom I got to go out and get a new piece and re drimel it and re drill a new hole in it. Hey good news is this time im just going to use the black sillacone to put in the new wall with. i would do without the brittle star in the cuc. i think it would get too big and is just unnecessary. Ok thanks Link to comment

patrick1234 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 any snail I have ever got other then a turbo. Has been killed by one of my red orblue leg crabs. And in order to have somthing to clean glass and sand and rock for me that will not bulldoze my rocks down like a turbo will. In less you know a snail thats not to big but crabs dont eat Link to comment
