Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I should have gotten more vinegar.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Hahaha... always get more vinegar. When you think you have enough, get another.

 

[Katrina71]

This would have been easier outside, but freezing temps and rain made that not happen.

The plumbing doesn't look bad. The tank wasn't gross dirty either.

 

[Katrina71]

The privacy panel had a bunch of gunk behind it. I expected that.

I would shoot for 5-6x turnover. The Sicce pump you have is fine.

Starting to cleanup nice.

Keep up the good work!

For the people that use filter Socks how do you clean them? I soak in vinegar and rinse thoroughly. Don’t want to use the washing machine.

I use the mesh socks. I spray them off really well with the hose and then just soak them in some bleach water & rinse. Let it air dry to make sure the chlorine smell is gone then replace them. I keep enough on hand to make sure I always have clean ones ready to use. I don't use the washer either. Don't really need to.

This is a good write. It’s amazing the info this thread has amongst all the shenanigans

The complete shenanigans write up is on page 324.

Or was that 243? :oops:

What @Fin said.

I used to use the washer but it wears them out too quickly.

 

[Katrina71]

What don't y'all use the dishwasher?

 

[Katrina71]

Ok she's looking much better. She's gonna get more TLC tomorrow, but...

I see feet! :-)

 

[dantimdad]

Very good!

If that was back in the 1800 those ankles would be a scandal.

 

[Katrina71]

I guess I just verified I'm Southern. Barefoot. Lol

The black polish would have gotten me burned at the stake.

Wow, you and Andrew did an amazing job. I know who I am contracting in the future for a clean up.

 

[Manose]

That is going to be one awesome tank when you guys fill it. I like that glass overflow.

 

[Crabby48]

That came out great. Nice job both of you
