Ryan_H Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 yeah plastic is a B!+c# to clean. that's the main reason i ditched my 1.6 pico for a 2.5 gallon. Link to comment
froggiebunbun Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Jenny, just a head's up. My nimble did scratch my plastic tank... I had to be very very careful with it and make sure nothing b/w it and the tank side. Even a lil molted pod shell could scratch up my plastic 6.6g before. Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 yeah i think i am goign ot have to use my hand and a small piece of microfiber or something Link to comment
tinyreef Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 try a child's toothbrush (clean new one). if it's still too short you can rubberband it to a chopstick (cheap throwaway type). if you're diy-brave, you can also heat bend it into optimal shape/curvatures with a lighter or a candle (tip: do it by the sink so you can flash freeze it into position). for larger tanks i use the same method but on a wooden dowel rod (24" or so, home depot). otoh, the nimble's friggin awesome! but there are just some spots it cannot reach. hth Link to comment
Phixion Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 That is a really nice little tank!! Eager to see how it turns out. Link to comment

Argent Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Found the tank on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Tetra-WaterWonders-Wat...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 yup thats it. i love this tank. would be so much better if the lights were more powerful though. when will these manufactures learn that we want tanks on steroids? Link to comment
Ryan_H Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 yup thats it. i love this tank. would be so much better if the lights were more powerful though. when will these manufactures learn that we want tanks on steroids? haha, it's tetra. when will they learn not to put a picture of 5 platies in the tank on the side of the box... and then recommend the tank for a single betta, lol. there are better tanks out there, imo, for pico reefs than this one, although i DO wish that SOMEONE would specifically manufacture a kit in the 1-2 gallon range specifically made for a pico with DECENT lighting for a change... and out of glass, too. you seem to be doing a good job with this one though. keep it up Link to comment
