Can you cut odd shapes, with scissors maybe? I have a tank with curved front glass, so i would have to cut a curve into the material.

Very cool🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤hope I can. Learn. From you.

Great video. I have some questions. Firstly, what concentration of h202 we need ? Is the commercial one ok? And if the pp destroyes the BB then is it possible we take the filtered media (sponge) or turn the canister filter off and just add aeration to the tank during the pp bath and then neutralizing it with h202 followed by 50% water change and then turn on canister filters? Will this work to keep the cycle?

hi awesome 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻, i have question i have to treat mine 600 galon tank - can i use after PP only H2o2 to clear the water ? or instead is needed to change 80% watter - which will be mission impossible for me 🥲🥲🥲🥲

And i have sand a soil in tank so do i still dose at the same rate?

Hello how do i know if my fish have parasites? I found 2 red worms on top of my glass lid

Hope you enjoy this week's video! For convenience sake, the wood specifications are listed here again: YOU WILL NEED: ● (10) Units of 2x6x10 Wood These will be cut into lengths of: ▶ (4) Units at 77.5" ▶ (4) Units at 44" ▶ (4) Units at 33" ▶ (14) Units at 15.5"

This video deserves way more likes for the views... I do hope you get them!

In time those 8x8x16” blocks will crack. They are not designed to hold a working load standing on end. Might take a few years for it to happen. Please be aware.

Sorry, but glass is highly heat conductive. So your first pro is a big con compared to alternatives.

I’m curious about light transmission. I have plants in the tank and do not want to inhibit their growth

Have you had any issues with the tanks just sitting on the boards on the rim?

I'm surprised you didn't mention plexiglass "acrylic" or warn against using it. I had a 1/4" sheet handy and made a lid. It came out great, but after about a month it was warped pretty bad. I thought it was due to the light I had laying on it and making it a little warm. I made a 2nd lid and used a light that was elevated above the lid. After about a month it also warped out. After a little research I found out that acrylic is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water over time causing it to warp. I purchased a 1/4" sheet of polycarbonate (more durable, but heavier and harder to cut than the greenhouse panels you used) and made my 3rd lid. It's been almost 6 months and the lid is still perfectly flat.

And then Duboisi and Frontosa decide to join in on the fun too 🐟

A very good presentation. Keep up the good work. Blessings

i use fenbendazole. i mix it in the food. but it can be diluted in the water

Where do you get the potassium permanganate, and how do you dose it prior to levamisole? Thanks

You can use screen and 1× piece of wood

Great Video as Always. Learning so much thru you guys

Works with livebearers too.

Green fish keeping is very good too

Love the fish keeping keep it up

One more option to use is by using clear acrylic sheets. It works just exactly like glass cover, but its more durable that it wont break like glass on slight impact/tension, and it is lighter too. Best thing about it is that it offers the same (or almost) amount of light passing through the cover, so for a planted tank it is a great pick. The cons is it is more expensive than polycarbonate, but I'm assuming it wont be as expensive as glass. The other thing is that it might be difficult to do DIY cuttings, unless if there's a place for custom laser cut somewhere (like what I did for my lid). I'm currently using 3mm thickness 16.5x16.5 inches, and it worked fine so far. One thing to note is that to not clean it with blade-type glass scraper like you do with glass lid/tank, instead clean it with normal algae scrubber (or whatever its called).

🤙🏾 nice

See you in the west world. Dux out

The biggest con for polycarbonate in the UK is the price. It much more expensive than cut glass. A sheet 3ft x 3ft x 2mm costs £63, about the price of a bare 24in tank.

We needed a country song outro with zay singing 😂

Lmao 😂

😂howdy 🤠

You don't need a diamond cutter to cut glass. Any cheap glass cutter will do, just remember to use a bit of lubricant - any kind will do, even WD40. 3 mm glass is dirt cheap (at least in Europe). Plenty of videos on YT on cutting glass. I use PC too, but for scaped aquariums it looks terrible.

How would you go about adding a hinged lid that you can flip open to the polycarbonate material? I see self-adhesive piano hinges on amazon, but wasnt sure.

One thing I love about PC is that you can glue it with PVC glue or just dissolve some PC in acetone to make a glue. I have made feeding hole caps by gluing the cut out piece with a larger piece of the material, and I still have all this see through. I also made a lid for a rimless tank by gluing pieces that overhang the lid by the thickness of glass in the tank. Not the cleanest look, but it doesn't look like hammered shit either.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for sharing this tip. Great to save money when MTS is present

Check out the full video on our channel (and also linked in this video) and see if this design works for you or gives you any ideas! Completing this project took so much longer than we expected, but we think it worked out great! What do you guys think? :)

A Con of your roofing tile, its lite weight and will not hold up to a "real fish". If your raising guppies....you are golden....you got a tiger oscar.....arawanna .... any cichlid bigger than 4 inches and you got a problem. Suppose you could duct tape the sides down if you hope to have a prayer of it staying on. Glass is heavy for a reason and why they usually use tempered glass so when it does get hit by said cichlid, it doesn't break. So in short, I get why there are DIY tops for tanks.... If you have a fishroom and lots of tanks you got on the cheap....go by your roofing panels. If you have a few show tanks....you like fish you just are not a fish junkie, go buy glass and call it a day. If you drop it and break it...that's on you, pay attention and be careful when doing that task. Glass tops can almost always be cleaned to new like condition.

Awesome and informative video. Mine have columnaris. I have been doing pp dips. It seemed to help at first, but then it came right back. Any ideas? Should i treat the whole tank? It's a 120 gallon.

Please Read description for further Information and details. Thank you.

Light decreases the effectiveness of p.p. Keeping lights off allows it to work better. If you have sand/gravel in tank, you may want to slightly stir it up to get all pathogens. Potassium Permanganate also kills beneficial bacteria,. Use air stones and wave makers instead of filters or you will kill beneficial bacteria and crash system, unless you want to kill potential pathogens on/in filters. You will have to add beneficial bacteria to help reestablish beneficial bacteria in the tank.

Perfect timing I was looking for a glass alternative thank you so much!

Thanks for info just ordered just incase if I ever needed

Great video, I hope all fish are still going strong and soon pass all the parasites.

Go pack go!!!

Nice

This is a very helpful video. I had just bought some polycarbonate sheets, but had no idea how to cut them. Now I know, thanks to your clear demonstration. Do you have any tips for (a) cutting out sections of polycarbonate for filter pipes or (b) drilling holes in polycarbonate for airflow?

Very nice. Thanks!

Thanks for showing me the ribbed polycarbonate. I did know it exists
