Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[NY_Caveman]

I will try to take pics of everything I can today so you guys can help me with set-up later.

Definitely take good pictures of the plumbing before disassembling. If you get any LED lights ask how long they were running.

The 2 top fish need very large tanks @Musovski. Batfish can grow 16-30" and Naso top out at about 1 1/2 feet.....

i know, the naso will fit in the tank im building but i dont want one. The bat fish are just strange. i took a pic to share it here.

I had a batfish in a purpose built tank in the 90s I basically put in plastic corkscrew val 3 ft. tall in a 48x24x36 tank it was him and a few monos. Pretty cool looking. Ran it at 1.019 salinity. We called it half marine water. LOL!

Those are common here on the Gulf. Good eating too. Knew someone with a 600 gallon and he thought it would be cool to toss in a half dozen baby blue crabs. What could it hurt? Ha. Took him a while to get them all out. :-)

Just left lfs. It's a fantastic place but the owner is little rough. Not mean but is just gruff

I would like to correct my earlier statement about the medusa worms.

They CAN be kept in established reef tanks that are able to dose/maintain a good supply of plankton/pod type food.

Just a particular subspecies can ONLY eat off a particular sponge. The other species are good detritus/filter feeder cleaners.
