How many bottles of wine have you had to drink while looking at one of your tanks over the years!

I drink minimum 1 bottle of red wine every single day.
That means 365 bottles++ per year.

that is the down side to having my system at my school. I would love to sit with a good wine or fine ale and watch the fishes swim by but alas its not to be.

Hey Ching,

How are you? About your tank that questions is out of place...We all know...but I want to ask you something regarding the care of your acrylic tank.

How do you manage to keep it so free of scratches and at the same time free of coralline algae.

Any details will be greatly appreciated.

Receive our sincere regards and salutation

Hi Frank,
I am doing fine. Thanks.
My fish guy cleans the panel every other day with Tunze magnet cleaner.

And he fine cleans with algae pad cleaner twice a week.

noobtothereef · 08/05/2012, 07:59 PM

man i bet that is one powerfull magnet being able to stay together on that 2"+ thick acrylic

noobtothereef · 08/05/2012, 08:02 PM

omg that tunze mag is almost $600.... http://www.fishsupply.com/stz-mg22057.html

Briney Dave · 08/06/2012, 09:09 AM

The right magnet for your tank will likely be a lot less as ching's tank is very thick and thus a very powerful tool is needed

plus the right magnet for keeping the panel clean and scratch free is really worth a lot. I suffered with a too weak of a magnet for a long time but recently was given a proper piece to fit my thickness from my local fish store and man, what a difference!!

don't cut a corner in buying the right tool for the job at hand

Atollsps · 08/16/2012, 11:25 AM

Chingchai. Your secrets are slowly leaking ...

AQUA DAVE · 08/16/2012, 07:08 PM

Chingchai,

I have started a build thread of my own and will be using some of your techniques but I tweaked them a little. It would be an honor if you could give some feedback on my thread if and when you feel the urge too. I have enjoyed your threads over the years so maybe I can return the favor.

Cheers!

Dave
