I want him so badly!!!

michael_cb_125 · 09-26-2008, 09:02 PM

I miss Jose so terribly. I have been looking at other BSJF, but I just know none of them will be able to replace him. Plus my new Elos 70 and a Jawfish would not get along

But he is cute, someone here should get him!!!

Aww, Michael, I so understand how you feel. Why do you think a blue wouldn't do well in a 70g tank? Mine is in a 65g and he is doing just fine!

michael_cb_125 · 09-26-2008, 10:53 PM

The Elos tanks are rimless. I have no top.

Where there is a will there is a way, figure something out to cover it.

cbrownfish · 09-26-2008, 11:11 PM

Saran wrap!

BarbMazz · 09-27-2008, 01:23 AM

I bet you could come up with something streamlined and nice looking using fiberglass screening and some sort of nice framing for it. Just sayin'!

Why not use egg crate with some kind of screen?

michael_cb_125 · 09-27-2008, 08:30 AM

The whole purpose of the Elos Rimless tanks is to look streamline, modern and clutter free. I a "top" would just ruin the look I am trying to achieve. But I do have good news. I cant tell anyone, but I will have plenty of space for a BSJF. I will just have to figure out which tank to put him in. Megan and I a starting something, and we are so excited. Everyone here will find out soon though, we just have a few things to finish up first.

what about from big jay,, he could build a cover from pyrex???

Anselth · 09-27-2008, 11:26 AM

I would think a pyrex top would stifle gas exchange and prevent heat from escaping, just as a glass top would.

michael_cb_125 · 09-27-2008, 11:31 AM

I had a glass top over my old 100 gallon reef. I actually had no problems with the tank. Corals always looked great, and the water temp. never got over 83. But I really like the open top of the Elos tanks. But like I said By the end of the year I should have a BSJF Species tank setup. I have been looking into it for a while now.
