    Im stoked made me a new toy for my tank system,;D check out the videos.
    had to split it in two videos, it was to long for youtube up load.:(






    total cost $2.00 cant beat that for a carbon reactor, the rest of the stuff i had laying around.
    Plus making it was just plain fun.

    Well wile waiting on my diy rocks to cure out i made another no budget diy for my system, in the past when adding new fish to my tank i had problems with the resident fish being territorial and bulling the new fish till they became accustom to the new tank and water, so i made this up to hang in the tank to house the new fish wile they get used to the new tank and keep them safe, i am sure there are other uses for it to. one mans junk is another's mans diy parts :LolLolLol

    Great prize!!! I had to have one of those scrubbing things too - it actually works! The fish don't seem to mind it either. :)

    So it actually removes the coralline algae? I have a large problem with it on the front of my tank and haven't taken any blades or scrapers to it and would like to remove it.
