Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Rakie]

hows today looking?

Not sure yet! But I found the skimmer in the garage still with box

YCA DC13 <--- LINK. Don't mind the silly "180 gallons" BS. It's the second smallest one they make, rated for a 50g heavy bioload.

Yes, it's not bad. DC controlled and rated within the range of what she needs. And I already have her address so she can't decline. I also have an upgrade she can have when she's ready too, an SCA 302

It's too small for your tank. You would need at least the DC16 or larger. Truth be told, I would recommend either a Somatic 120 minimum, or more likely a larger vertex. Vertex are expensive, so another option would be an AquaMaxx CO-2 or CO-3.

I need to swap my curve 7 out for something smaller. Any takers?

thats what i thought, so i decided if i do get a skimmer its going to be a super reef octopus sro-2000 ext.

That should do well. I would say you could look into the AquaMaxx CO line as well. For the price there isn't much better and they can handle some big heavy tanks.

@Rakie I would love to use that SCA on my breeder.

I will pay you for shipping!

Think about it [emoji9]

A kole tang is a must. How do fish do in shallow tanks?

Hi guys! No plans to add anything quite yet. Taking this slow. Right now it will have a defect clown, pair of firefish, hi fin goby+ pistol, neon goby, tailspot

 

[Rakie]

I know you want a baby yellow tang. Or a kole tang.. Or a purple tang.

well, as long as it has horizontal swim room with some obstacles, even if its 18" high, it will be ideal for a yellow eyed kole tang or maybe a baby scopas, yellow or purple.

A few times live aquaria had baby barracuda... I mean that would go well with your stingray

 

[Rakie]
