Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I'd add carbon if it was mine.

I run carbon 24/7... I swear I have something environmental that doesn't show up on an ICP test.

Pest control on the dogs maybe? On the shed fur?

Do you have an airstone you can drop in? I think it might ease the stress on your fish.

I do but it’s hooked up to my qt that’s cycling right now. What would an air stone do in this instance?

Everytime you go to the ER, you get O2. I think it reduces stress. I always drop one in when I have an event. It may be Overkill, but never any negative results.

Agreed. Oxygenating the water is good for stressful times. I do not know much about Dinos, but if they are polluting the water column it may have other benefits as well.

I didn’t know that’s what it’s for! I’ll see if I can make some space to add one.

My fish and corals have taken a beating before so I’m sure they’ll be alright with some sand and detritus getting on them for a bit. I tried my best to lightly blow it off their polyps afterwards.

There’s unfortunately no easy way to remove this crap bacteria :/

What stunned me was how much detritus or like decomposed rock was on my structures. There was so much of it. That seemed to be where the Dino was blooming the worst.

Like compost in the soil, I'd imagine.

Exactly, except it was white and chalky. It looked like the rock had broken down and just went flying. I got some pictures the other day of it. I would baste and the entire outer surface would just break down.

They are on bravecto chews for flea and tick and iverheart chews for heartworms. No topical medications. The bravecto is fluralaner(whatever that is), and the iverheart is ivermectin aka praziquantel aka prazipro.

I'm betting they secrete it in saliva when they groom.

It is so tempting, but I promised my tank no new corals for a long time. I really want the tank to just relax and mature.

Probably show up on a hair test also, like how they can test for THC from hair...

You are a lot more mature than I sir.

You don’t know when the next time you’ll see that specific plate, it might honestly be never.

Do it.
