Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Adam113]

@Adam113 is your little guy eating?

Eh, can't say 100% yet. I've soaked LRS reef frenzy in garlic and have added a lot of pods over the weekend. When all the food settles he is picking all over the rocks, but I haven't seen him grab food from the water column yet. Going to see how he is this week. Hopefully start seeing his little sunken belly come out a bit.

I have a 30 gal sumpless and a 55g w sump 60 ish total. I just do a 5g bucket every other week. Just Easy maths. If I miss a week it's not the end of the world.

You already owe me a tank cleaning!

I'll throw in a water change!

That's a pretty fish!

Very pretty. Hopefully he starts eating, if not I'm going to have to find a local that has a more established tank and give him away. Don't want to bring him back to the LFS for them to sell him to somebody else with a newer tank.

It's obvious you love him.

Not sure your fodd choices. But capalini roe and nutrimar ova are pretty good high protein and high fat contents.

I've been soaking LRS Reef frenzy and ROE in garlic. I've also added a bunch of copepods and recently started putting a piece of seaweed wrapped around a rock in the tank hoping that he finds it and starts picking at it.

I'm thinking about getting something for the tank for my birthday. Hmm. So many options.

Does anyone know dimensions on a 60 gallon cube? I know 24"x24". Not sure about the height...or would it be a true cube 24"x24"x24"?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

It changes a bit from manufacturer to manufacturer but yes it its a true cube

My 30 "cube" is actually 18x 17x 18deep.

Looking for some bling?

Judge? No. Enable? Possibly.

Now that's what friends are for!

Some of my friends are bad influences.

 

[Katrina71]

Those are my favorite.

 

[Katrina71]

Give me some suggestions for my birthday.

What do I really want/need?

Sit and drink tea or use chainsaws. Hmmm.
