All you have to do is fill it with bio-balls.

Vpier Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Oh that's a lot extras for the price. It sounds good! See why its so tempting. Just a few modifications to make it shrimp proof and it would work perfectly. PlantDude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlantDude Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Any glass will shatter. Haha good point. Honestly for the price it's worth the risk and they should have a warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Haha good point. Honestly for the price it's worth the risk and they should have a warranty No offense to the poster but one claim about shattering and no explanation doesn't have me concerned, its 6mm low iron glass 1ml thicker than ADA tanks .I watched the videos Marine Depot had with the product and they look really nice. My problem is spending waaay to much money on shrimp last week PlantDude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocknorman Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm pretty sure they upped the glass since when I heard the reports. I would go for it! It includes slot of stuff.
