I should do a video of the way I do it. It is not difficult and does not require any thing but a board underneath it. You don't need to push down hard. if you do that's when you snag and tear.

I have done it both ways. Either works fine for me. The PVC saw works the fastest for me mostly due to the fact that my PVC saw is sharper.

So the scrubber is officially running with lighting as of yesterday! Very happy with my air stone and screen so far... Bubbles stay tight to the screen and get stick to it very well. No live stock in the tank right now, but it just cycled so there will be extra N's and P's in the water column. Had a flame angel in my sump that I removed from the tank, to have him be the test fish... he jumped out of my sump before the UAS was ever built... so I am going to see about getting some mollies after work today. I hope they will be okay with a quicker FW/SW change.
I have tried to acclimate mollies in a couple hours and it does not work for my. I have mine acclimated since Friday to 1.002 to 1.010 as of last night and they seem to do ok with this slow increase.

Should be easy enough to bring the salinity down, thanks for the tip!Originally Posted by kerry
So I am guessing your first try failed. What salinity did you start with and end with on that attempt?
I dripped slow at full 1.025 for about 3 hours and it was a fail.

No growth for day two, then again... there isn't any load either... going to get the mollies soon...
The tank will be about 1.014, hoping I can get them changed over in about 10 hours... Once they are in I will raise it over a week or two to normal salinity.
I hear when mollies are kept in SW they bread well and have strong fry... looking forward to that...
I want them for to breed in my SW tanks so my fish have natural prey to feed on and have some natural instinct as well.
