Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

Any of you guys ever use a HOB on an AIO? I saw something called a Bak Pak using mud. It's interesting.

So here in lies the problem. BTAs are the cheapest and easiest (for most people) to keep in a home aquarium.

So naturally that would be my suggestion right? The problem there is in the wild they are a natural host for like 2/3 clowns and that's it. So if your son has Occy or Perc, they may NEVER host the BTA so what's the point of having it? On that same token if you were to stick something like a H. Mag (too big for that tank anyways) in there, they'd be in it within 24 hours guaranteed.

He has a couple of RFAs. Just for fun, not the clowns.

@Amoo so what you are saying is the best I can do is try a bta and see if it hosts them?

 

[Amoo]

Well not yet. You need to ask him the question. If the nem goes rampaging through his tank and were to sting and kill a bunch of his corals he already has, would he still want to keep the BTA?

Now if he answers yes to that, then I would recommend trying one. If he answers no, then I wouldn't. Make him really think about it.

His tank. I just made a few things mad, but he has good taste. Cyano has been an issue. He dropped his nitrates from 15 to 7 by wiser feeding. Flow is being addressed this weekend.

@Amoo thanks for the info. Good way to pose the question Btw.

Thats a bright white sand bed!! Tanks looking great!

 

[Katrina71]

Thanks, he is learning. I think he does pretty well.

@Katrina71's build thread is back in action, @saltyfilmfolks is off the DL and posting again, I guess it's time to break out the good stuff and throw a party!

 

[Scurvy]

I think he does pretty well.

He's doing great!

One day we are really going to share a bottle. That is on my bucket list.

Hope its a big bucket. And full when you start!

Y'all are much more fun than my non reefing friends.

Reefers are known for being wild and crazy; just look at their pics at club meetings!
