My rainy afternoon DIY project. Now with rev3 (the rimless model)

[PoonTang]

Sure a lot easyer than the little clips or a piece of PVC on a string.

Very cool, I think those could be marketable.

[Delphinus]

I agree, you could sell those. I'd buy one. ;)

One idea you could try for a "version 2", make the attachment clip part horizontal so it it could work with Eurobraced tanks.

Nice work on the acrylic, I've never had much luck with bending acrylic. Either I heat it not enough and it snaps, or I heat it too much and it discolours (once I had it even bubble up a bit).

I was just gona ask that LOL

[Myka]

Good idea. :)

[The Grizz]

Awsome idea definitly marketable!!!!!!!!!!!

[PoonTang]

ok I will see if I can whip up a bunch over the holidays. I am laid off until mid jan anyhow. will work on a eurobrace model too. how does $20 sound? let me know if you guys are interested.

[Lance]

I'm in!

[bigmac]

Fantastic idea!
PM me when you get some made; I'll take one (not the eurobraced version).

[belzebuth]

Eurobrace would be neat.

[banditpowdercoat]

Interested!!!!

Eurobrace!!!

[ZachAttack]

what are those things for??

[PoonTang]

You attach sheets of Nori to it to feed your fishes. It clips to the side of your tank.

[ZachAttack]

Ok that's really neat. how long would that last as a food source?? and what would it look like with euro bracing?? I have no idea what that is

[Lance]

Euro-braced version for me Darren.

[Skimmerking]

Dude i think you have found your calling man. WELL DONE I will take one for euro bracing..

[christyf5]

I'll take a euro braced one too please! :biggrin:

[PoonTang]

I think I will have to design one that clips onto eurobracing rather than over the lip of the tank. My eurobracing is only on the front and back of the tank so I am putting the acrylic on the ends of the tank. Is everyone elses all the way around? Is most eurobracing 1/2 inch thick?

Yup, mine's all the way around and 1/2"

[marie]

I'd take one, not eurobraced :biggrin:

[PoonTang]

Ok heres the prototype for the eurobrace model. Production of both models is beginning today. Anybody who wants 1 of either model just PM me and we can sort out the details.

[PoonTang]

New Price. $30 includes shipping anywhere in Canada for either model. Group orders welcome.

[ZachAttack]

** MAY WANT TO PATENT :P **
Looks pretty sick man. Good job.

[christyf5]

Just got my nori feeder. As per the usual my regal was a bit shy and didn't recognise it as food until we left the tank alone. Then it was feeding frenzy as usual.

Great design with a nice snug fit. It even stayed on with my regal hammering at it and will be easier to take pics than with the DIY "PVC on a string" method I was using previously :wink:

Thanks Darren! :biggrin:

[Jason McK]

I'd Love one of those. I would need eurobrace model

Just send me a PM. Also I will need to know if your Eurobracing is bigger than 1/2 x 3 inch. I see you have a larger tank so the bracing may be thicker.

[Jason McK]

Cool I'll meansure in the morning and send you a PM

J

[Myka]

Christy did you get the eurobrace model or the standard?

I'm trying to get a few people in Saskatoon together for a little group order. :)

[christyf5]

I got the eurobrace model

[Lance]

Got mine in the mail yesterday. It was broken :sad: (Stupid freight guys) Not to worry though, it was an easy fix. It was a clean break right where the cylinder meets the flat bar. Nothing a little glue couldn't fix. Anyway it works great! :biggrin: Fits the euro-bracing perfectly.

[PoonTang]

LoL, unbelievable, yay canada post. Anyways did Marie's survive OK? If you have troubles with yours let me know and I will get it sorted out. Do you know if Marie's fitted properly? her's was a custom size.

Marie's was fine. I haven't heard back from her so I don't know how the fit is. As for mine it works fine after a small repair.

Hi Darren, Mine fits like I actually know how to measure accurately...



.......in other words in fits perfectly :lol:

Unfortunately I hadn't given a lot of thought on where to put it, the front glass pane just isn't going to work because it gets in the way of Doofus' dance hall so I'm going to have to rearrange things so it goes on the back glass

Excellent, glad to hear. Tell dufus...Dance hall up front....snack bar in rear :biggrin:

[Jason McK]

Got mine this morning

I didn't even have it clipped on the brace before my Tangs where on it.

Fits perfect and my 3 big Tangs can't rip it off.

Best feeder I've ever used.

Thanks Darren it's Great

[Jan]

How about posting a picture/video of them feeding.
Thanks.

I am trying to get 1 for you but they are so shy still I cant get within 10 feet of the tank and they dart into the rocks. So I stand there and wait but if they see me they wont come out until I back away. I will keep trying.
