new house, new fishroom, 4,000 gallon tank, 1,000 gallon tank, many others and ponds,

I think once it becomes a matter of you having to jump in the tank yourself to clean it, you will change your tune...I guess time will tell. ;)

yea, ive been thinking of how to get past the flat magnet and the slightly bowed acrylic, maybe like a 1/4 thick acrylic scrubber under the inside magnet would work, ill have to try it. ill let you all know

I found this car wash brush at WalMart with very soft bristles. It works really well on our 300 gallon tank.

There is a bigger brush with extendable handle that I plan to use on our big tank. Our tank is only 4' high and 4' wide, but I can easily reach the front panel of the tank while standing on a platform behind the tank

I do apologize if this was asked, but this is alot to read through on my phone...

First off...good lord! You are a king in fish keeping. (drooling)

Question: what do u feed the majority of them? And what do you spend on food a month?

ahhhh good question, ive answered that before, but ill answer it again :)
i feed 6 pounds of shrimp and 6 pounds of hotdogs every other day and then i feed the growouts everyday,
and on the days that i dont feed the big fish , i throw in pellets to various tanks, so lets add this up,
6 lbs of shrimp @5.00 a lb = 30.00 x 15 days a month is 450.00 a month in shrimp actaully a little less cuz i miss a feeding every once in a while,
and the hot dogs i get from marks for 75 cents a pack x 6 packs = 4.50 x 15 days a month is 67.00 a month
and i buy a 50lb bag of pellets for 30.00 every 4 months or so, a total of about thats like about 527 a month in food for the fish, if i feed on schedule, but like i said i miss at least 3-4 days a month,
so it is about 500 a month for food, it sounds like a lot when i add it up, so i usually dont

this is josh trying out our new underwater breathing hose, so that he can get in the tank and sit at the bottom and feed the fish from the inside, youll see that it did not work , at the end of the video, he was not getting enough air, so back to the drawing board :)
