Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Magellan]

It’s a freshwater crap light but I could reduce the day time on it.

Apparently McCosker flasher wrasses are much more peaceful than others.

I’m going to increase feedings and play it by ear. It would take 7-10 days to get another tank up and cycled anyways. By that time they would over halfway done.

The tank is 75% to full dose of copper, playing it super slow since they are both delicate. They are going to 100% in 1-2 days.

I read the same thing about them, you just never know. Copper treatments plus a small confined space, less than ideal for him. Only thing I can think of would be to take some sand from your display, water from your display, and sacrifice a rock to go into QT tank #2. Could also seed some biomedia tonight as well, (in your DT) it would basically be insta-cycled by tomorrow and ready to go. But that’s a lot of potentially unnecessary effort. Is there anything you could add to that tank to break it up a little so it’s not so wide open? Fish like shade/ places to hide and maybe that’s all the wrasse needs.

My husband is the opposite.

Thats awesome. I have only ever met one other person that has the same quirk, and he qorks in the bay next to mine.

The things I do for friends.... heater core, Pontiac Torrent(piece of s***). I have to rip everything you see out still. Except the steering column, I'm not opening that can of worms.

Done a lot of those. I once had a '89 Camaro that needed a heater core. The center console and dash had to come out. 2 weeks after I repaired it the new one started to leak! I think the job booked for 14 hrs when i looked it up. The second time I had it done in a little over 3 hours. I will never buy another aftermarket heater core.

I will buy a new car before a new heater core.

Do any of you run a reef breeders rp-m. If so, how do you like it?

I meant if you wanted to set up another 10g and avoid waiting for it to cycle.

reading through this article it looks like it might just be a space/hiding place thing?

There are two large things of pvc and the rock for him to hide under. I think it was just a feeding thing. It was the first time I saw the wrasse acknowledge the blenny so I’m not too worried. He did kind of swim aggressively at it though, no nipping.

I hope it works out, that wrasse is one good looking fish!



this doggo is pretty handsome too :)

I've met her. She'll cut him. Lol

This is a friend, not my wife... I doubt you've met her, but she would still probably cut me.

Old heater core out. Didnt have to evacuate the AC like everyone said... just split the HVAC box in two instead of removing the whole thing. You can see the evaporator core still in the firewall in the first pic, and the second pic is the leak on the heater core itself. Had to clean the box too, it was full of old coolant.

New heater core in amd HVAC box back together... now for the dash.

My blenny is only eating mysis and phyto. Is that normal?

Almost missed the picture, but the local fire dept comes thru all the neighborhoods every year with Santa on top of the engine truck for the kids.

What sort of blenny is it? Mine never ate a single thing I tried to feed him, preferred to fend for himself.
