  1. I agree with teaching them to swim asap. Going through that now with mine and teaching them how to handle themselves and be comfortable in the water is so valuable.

    Also I've employed chicken wire pond coverings before and if it's secured well it can also be a deterrent.

    • Xtreme Nano Pellets are too big (they constantly spit them out; I wouldn't consider this a nano fish food despite the name). 

     

    I totally agreed with you until I pre-soaked them for a few minutes. Once they absorb a little water and soften up even the tinyiest of fish can gobble them up.

    I did give this a little thought. I think crunchy tacos are a must, Taco Bell or Taco Johns tacos should be the standard IMO. Home made or alternative tacos should be allowed as long as the shell is crunchy and the taco weight is similar to Taco Bell/Johns tacos.

    And subcategories are a great idea I think.

    @TheDukeAnumber1 I know you’re a meme lord—are you also a gif lord?

    ETA: thanks for spreading the word @Cory!

    Meme lord 😂.... ty.

    I have adopted Cory's strategy of under promise and over deliver. I have no graphic media credentials, fancy software, or extensive experience in the matter... but I would give it the old college try :P

    This will be my last pre dated entry, further enteries will be current. The center stone being close to the light grew more hair algae than I was willing to deal with so I switched it out for a short one just to mark the center of the tank. The plants filled in more, I added fertilizer very infrequently and the fish population steadily grew.

    Re-read what I wrote.

    NEVER! I only read things once and in a haphazard manner!

    You don't have to stop the print to embed a magnet. Just CAD a pocket about .5mm larger than the magnet dimensions, Your print quality looks fine so it shouldn't have an issue bridging over the top gap without supports. Neodymium magnets are small and some even come pre coated in epoxy.

    Maybe, unlike me, your typical customer has faith in suction cups and doesn't want magnets though, I was just trying to offer some feedback.

    I don't have a Thingiverse page setup yet. I used plain old AutoCAD 3D.  I have Fusion, Mesh mixer, and Blender.

    I've had a few incidents where the suction ups came off, but it's hasn't really been an issue. Typically I found it was a crap suction cup. I plan on adding an extra suction cup to each package. 

    Magnets are a good idea; however, you would have to have something inside the tank. That seems to add more mess to the process. It would be visually distracting. You can barely see the suction cups when you look through the tank. 

    I wouldn't call fusion plain old, it's fairly mainstream being as powerful as it is and free to hobbyists. I use solidworks myself but figure it would be good to dive into fusion eventually.

    Every suction cup I have had eventually fails, If I were a customer of yours I would see a magnet option as an added value ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
