ADA60F Bounce Breeder Tank

Recommended Posts

I’ve restarte the tank, so new thread. To make a long story short, I broke down a 20, and did some upgrades to my ADA60F

 

here goes

equipment

ADA60F with AIO conversion

Micro ATO

DA Controller (heater)(cooling fan)(moonlight)(open)

a-neutronics power bar

MP-10QDW (to also run a second tank)

batery backup 72 hours on pump

 

Kessil A160 WE

Kessil Controller

cheap moonlight bar

 

livestock

5 margarita snails that MOW thru anything! Amazing, hair algae, glass, rock, I leave the back uncleared.. they prefer rock first. They need a dead on temp setting, which I have. Never lost one.

 

one Damsel.. AKA (blue fish, blue shark, fuker)

he attacks the hair on my fingers.

 

i recently cleared about everything in my tank.. here are bits and pieces I can find..

this was the ADA60F rescue tank.

 

enjoy

this was  a TV Stand/cabinet.. heavy as hell (we have rocket launches here)

 

AC infinity programmable fans

 

notice the hole in the back by the battery backup??

The backup is mounted off the cabinet, air drawn over it

cabinet maintains 71 degrees, the fans ramp up 3x

And made room for these....

Yes and yes.. YouTube Kydex gun holster, knife sheath..

you will see the endless possibilities.

 

ive used it for years, but also tank clips, brackets, mounting boards.. also, used it in the tank forever. It will offgass cianide gas, so... watch some vids.. I use a torch, but a heat gun with fine tip? Perfect!

 

stable chemically when cooled.. offgass begins at the burning point

Cool. I have a couple projects that I could use this material for. Thanks for heads up on chemical reaction to heat. 

I own professional heat gun so I am glad to hear that it can be used to mold it into shape that way.

A Rhodactus that has formed “bubbles” is a bounce,

with the exception of the “Godzilla” Yuma, which some consider to also be a bounce mushroom.

 

some like the WWC Bounce can sell for serious money, rarity has an appeal as well..

 

there are literally “none” available on the west coast.. everyone local is pretty excited. Also, trading with the LFS on a bounce that is yet to be named.. beautiful purple and neon green bubbles.

 

i have one that I can wait to grow out.. the Golden Dragon Bounce.. it is smaller than a dime.. I look at it thru 7x Loups, and it’s going to be amazing looking.. supposedly 1 in 3 bounce.. this has bounced, and I’ll probably never find another one.

 

there are some theory’s as to why they bounce.. I have a few, and I’ll keep them to myself for now, but we will see.

You will love it.. order some different thicknesses... I score and snap with a knife.. bandsaws fine, sands fine. NO Bonding though.. nothing will bond to it

When you say nothing will bond to it, does it include epoxy, super glue or two part adhesive?
