SRC Member dradttg Posted November 8, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 8, 2003 Currently, I just have a 2 ft tank that is about 1 ft tall. So when I want to rearrange my tank and put things in, I just have to put my hands in. I have saw a lot of tanks here that are 2 ft, 2.5 ft, etc and some of the tank have bowled face. How do you arrange you LR and your coral inside your tank? Put the head into the water? I did see long cramps at the LFS but the look very flimy. I dont think they can take the weight of the LR.

I dont think they can take the weight of the LR. part and parcel of fish maintenance. getting wet that is. of course, not to the extent of getting drenched lah! (= you can look for those gloves that cover your arms to your elbow. I saw a thread somewhere in this forum about a pair of gloves that goes all the way to your armpits. lagi best, right?

terryansimon Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 alternatively you can just drop your corals/rocks from a height, and pray that by some stroke of luck, it lands in the place you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member dradttg Posted November 8, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 8, 2003 Dont mind getting wet and all that but with my fat body leaning against the tank, I dont know whether it can take it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Just make sure you don't lean too hard.. I go inside my tank to set it up......that the easiest way to do. Once filled with water then have to put my diving mask........so far haven't done this yet, no need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryansimon Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 You use a D.I.Y electricity operated crane. so mafan. anyhow drop, can already lah. alternatively you can test an SAF mortar's squad ability to hit precisely at your target. call one of them to fire a liverock into your tank. chances of them hitting your dog five meters away is high. okay off topic I know. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryansimon Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Dont mind getting wet and all that but with my fat body leaning against the tank, I dont know whether it can take it or not. don't lean too hard against the glass. it should be okay. my only fear is that I'll normally press down against the edge of the glass when I do maintenance. I wonder can the tank tahan my weight or not. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
