It works as intended in other tanks...so something about the tank.

but it works nicely on many other tanks I use it in. Just this 20 tall stalls out the wheel. Mine is set up same as above photo.

On one of my tanks the paddle wheel will not turn. Tried scrubbing glass to no avail. No problems with other tanks. Do I need to put chains on it? Do you sell sera snail trap? Thanks.

It worries me to turn off the valve at the tank and let the pressure expand the hose when I fill a tank. I worry that something is going to come apart. I bought a ball valve to replace the valve that comes with the Python, for ease of use. I have tried it out and everything works. Looking for encouragement to let her rip. I hate dashing back to the faucet every time I want to move to a different tank. Also I never know how accurate a fill I am getting without a bunch of back and forth. Thanks Jack

I harvest at 24 and then again at 36 hours....works for me. here is a picture of the specks.

I drain the shrimp into a container from the bottom of the hatchery. I take the container and dump it into a shrimp net. When I am doing this I see the black specks. When draining the container they seem to congregate mostly on the bottom corner. I have been dumping them back into the hatchery hoping to separate. I do feed to fry and have not noticed any problem other than all my Koi fry have died except 2. But fry in other tanks are eating the same thing so don't think it was the black specks choking them out.

seems to be working better since going back to one scoop of eggs...had been trying 1.5 scoops. Only trouble now is the black specks in the shrimp when I harvest them. I worry about choking out a fish on them. No choking so far just me worrying. Any suggestions to get a cleaner harvest?? thanks Jack

bird ball feeders are a hit with all my coreys and plecos. they mob them. Surprising no one manufactures. Oh well.

IMHO this stuff sucks. I do believe I choked off a tank and killed a bunch of catfish. Sticking with frogbit and thinning it regularly.

my first prototype is working better than I thought. Used it in several tanks yesterday and the coreys loved it. I had a video but format was not acceptable.

bird balls look more promising

I see a cone rolled out of the needle point stuff. saw one like that, but to me the holes are 2 small. I need big enough holes that my cories can cram their noses in. I am sure Corey will have these manufactured and added to his inventory shortly. I use some aluminum washers I cut out of 1/8 aluminum for the weight.

the bn is not supposed to be here, but my coreys were camera shy.

I have been using the plastic feeder cones, turned upside down and glued to a magnet. But awkward...the magnets (some...I made 6)drive all wonky. Made my first cat ball prototype. Need a different ball. too closed at top...where food goes. It worked but I must find the perfect ball. Here is a pic of proto. And I think this idea is perfect for ACO. Buy a shipping container full.

maybe modify a cat play ball.
