Egg tumbler plans?

majerah1 · 08-05-2011, 07:44 AM

Does anyone make them?Im thinking of stealing some of my macs eggs and tumbling them the next spawn.The problem is,I am not sure of a design that will work with such fragile eggs.

Anyone make any?

Is this what you want to make?

Yes,but Sam(synirr)said they just tumbled too rough in that,or thats the last she said.do you know of a design that tumbles like that but not as rough?Turn the air down or something?

One pair is spawning as I type but this time I decided to cover the tank and try that.

Well I honestly don't have any hands on experience with egg tumblers.
But looking at it, I would say that (your right) decreasing airflow.
I think that a set up using a small powerhead or small in tank filter with a diverter to create a gentle flow might work.
I do a lot of design and fabrication, so I'll try and get a sketch or two to you, that you can DYI easily
