Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

Looks cool. I know nothing about them.

So just when you have it figured out a little... Newbie reefer did not factor in heat on for evaporation. I feel really dumb.

What happened? Ran out of ATO?

I have the smart micro and love it. Gonna put it on the 35 when I move everything.

 

[Katrina71]

Me too for the 8. Not sure what size for the 29.

 

[Katrina71]

Just kinda starved my pump for a few minutes.

I think the micro will work just fine on the 29. Mine comes on for 2 seconds tops every few hours. You're still manual top off?

 

[Katrina71]

On that tank yes

 

[Katrina71]

Don't judge. Lesson learned

Plastic canvas and Zip ties @Will Godfrey

 

[Katrina71]

Told ya Will

@Will Godfrey plastic canvas is in the craft section at Walmart. The kind people use to make Kleenex box covers. Zip ties at Walmart too in hardware. Get the really small ones, they are easier to work with.

I like the 650 count plastic jar of zip ties in automotive over by the head light bulbs and the fuses. Short and long in a few different colors. I found that jar I had lost... I have two now

 

[Katrina71]

Hey will you can get both in black if you want a more sleek masculine look. I have only seen black canvas online.

 

[Katrina71]

Hey Robin, I think I might use the micro ato in the 29 and make my son do manual top offs. Just to make him pay closer attention while he's learning. Was thinking of putting something in his for a constant water line. Any suggestions? I was thinking a piece of day glow acrylic like coral vendors use as a pointer.

I use a black Sharpe...
