Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[SashimiTurtle]

Should have seen my 75 a month ago... 4" of GHA over every rock, and the sand. I decided to gut everything, scrub the rocks, dip the few corals I have in there and then rescape. I also added two urchins... those things are the best CUC I have. Just don't get attached to any coraline. They eat it along with every other algae on the rocks.

I'd skip. You did just get a lot of new water.
And I'm lazy. I'm every other unless something is not quite right.

 

[Katrina71]

Ok. I'll skip this one. Never skipped one before.

Target feeding is different with this tank. Gotta find something longer so I don't get my shirt wet.

I do water changes twice a week on my 14g. Only about 2 gallons at a time. But, I'm one of those crazy people keeping SPS in a tank smaller than my head. I can probably back off to once a week now that I'm dosing...

I'm on an every two week schedule in my biocube as well. Monthly in the 65. You'll be fine skipping this week.

My next wc do 20%?

Sure, 5 gallons or so is fine.

Sure, 5 gallons or so is fine.

And easy. It's one bucket.

;Woot
Do you have the long turkey baster?

 

[Katrina71]

Never thought of that. Might work. Maybe a brake line bleeder would work if that doesn't.

I'm so getting my girl card revoked for that post.

Just make sure there's no brake fluid... that stuff tastes bad. I'm sure your corals won't like it. I didn't.

 

[Katrina71]

I think the turkey baster will work! Thanks.

I use this kit for my two tanks. Having multiple sizes is handy. I use the different sizes for fish and spot feeding.

For spot feeding my SPS I use a syringe that came with one of my Hanna reagents... I usually just pour my food in the powerhead tho.

My son put a fish on "lay away". Lol. Actually, they are just holding his dream fish. Green Mandarin already eating frozen. It's at our tank guy's house.
