My Tumbler. John and Mike, this will make you proud!

[RonR.]

I can assure you this thing will be bad to the bone. Ok so no holes on the bottom. No holes at water line to hold pellets and add a good lid w/ finger holes aka feeding holes. Lid will be tinted or smoked to protect the fry from sun burn. I'm kinda iffy about using magnets to hold it to the glass, Thai drinks a lot and may not release it from the glass while doing wc, disaster in the making.

Holes down half way at least......from top of container to midway. Feeding flap/lid that can open/close allowing for hand to get inside container to clean gunk every 2-3 days. Removable top to allow for thorough cleaning. The rubbermaid container top pops off and you can get inside the container and clean it really well after each use.

Even if container is not released, at least 1/2 of it will still have water in it. A strong magnet (like the ones used on Tunze Stream holders) will keep the nursery in place. I can't let my nurseries float around because I have alot of current in my tank and if one of the nurseries bumps one of my 2217 eheim wide pipe jet outputs and knocks it out of the 180g.............I'll have over 100g of water on my floor.........mama would not be too happy.

Bad news gentlemen, the MJ 400's are too weak. I am ordering MJ1200 this week. Water is flowing but very slow. I threw some cichlid fry in there and they are not even getting tossed around. Update soon when the other powerheads come in.

I got some MJ1200 you can use for now. I'll bring them up this weekend.

I have a few but I don't want to break down the sure flow kits.
