I know that there are a bunch of local shops that sell them or you could even look on Amazon? I just don’t know if the painted ones are aquarium safe paint or if it’s more for decoration vs. actually being used

are they modified brine shrimp? always seem to find these at toy stores for kids since it’s totally for getting kids into vs adults I feel like

taken!

same I think restaurants are the biggest, I’ve seen some in like shops or even places that sell fishing equipment for fly fishing.

Do any of you own a pond? If so how big and did you use those black liners or did you actually dig and make it a custom design?

do you know what colors you would add? Is it many or just one different color option?

Are there any standards or links to a natural filter instead of having an actual filter run?

it’s not 100% needed but helpful in keeping the water crystal clean and clear!

Love the idea, it’s super smart!

I could never trust myself, but I think there are tons of guides online or even possibly ways to ask hardware store employees since they might know about weight and designs needed to hold that weight.

I didn’t even think that any equipment was able to link with Amazon Alexa devices so that’s actually pretty cool. What features does it have when linked (like what can it provide back to you when asked)?

Will there ever be any other theme or style options available? Not saying the default theme is bad, but I kinda wish there were other color options available

I personally go for the cheapest because they tend to be alright performance wise and they have so far lasted me longer than other name brand equipment for whatever reason.

Out of the three options, which one do you go with and why?

what’s the first coral you have ever bought?! And is still in your reef tank now?

Thank you so much for the replies!

I’d say when it no longer makes sense to replace. Some pumps can last years or even a ton if they are serviced and things taken care of without the motor failing.

100% agree with JamesG! If the filter is running fine, no need to replace it. But once the manufacturer stops making spare parts or supporting them then it’s time to possibly switch in case someone thing goes wrong and you are SOLA

I never had, I’m too worried about me cutting the acrylic way too big or possibly not cutting it right and causing for cracks or stress areas

Thank you for the quick answer and nice link for the information!

Do you know specifically what type of algae you want them to consume? Shrimp, snails, and even some other common fish (ex; mollies) could be great for your tank and would get along with them all. Otherwise you may be looking at smaller algae eating fish species (ex; some Plecos can stay within the 6” limit you requested).

Is there any that will eat just a bunch of the most common algae types?
