Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

Hey guys random Q. My fungia has been on the sand but slowly getting buried by my goby and not able to get the sand off it’s self quick enough before more sand is on it. I’m not sure what to do. I finally moved it just to this rock, just sitting not glued. I’ve never seen fungia on rocks.. but it looks happier than it did. What should I do long term though?

Agreed. He needs sand. Even a pvc cap.

Yes, incoming TDS is around 80, after RO has ran for a few minutes its rarely over 1ppm, usually 0 and the DI has always produced 0ppm. The DI resin is one month old and hasn't even started to change colors. I guess I'll find a magnet and go digging thru the sand.

I'd prefer a night cap! ;)

No. 70 gallons.

No. 70 gallons.

there are pages in r2r that says 30 would be fine. That goes against all I've read and know. Just making sure I didn't miss something.

I could be mistaken.

I’ve had a Flame Angel in my biocube 32 for over a year and a half. He seems pretty happy and is healthy.

 

[sfin52]

so would coral beauty work than?

 

[dantimdad]

Yes, they need about 25-30 gallons in my experience for a single centropyge

My thread is updated.

I say 70ish gallons as well. I would not put a Coral Beauty in my 45 gallon and I would love too. They stay small, but the more confined they are the more aggressive they may become.

 

[Katrina71]

I know 2 people that have tried coral beauties in a Biocube. Both became very aggressive. I hope it works! I honestly wouldn't mind an angel myself. A baby Tang and a baby Angel. Should be no problem...the shed I'll be living in has an open floor plan. :)

Planning for the distant future. Controllers that use an iPad for display. Andrew was asking me what they were... I'm not sure. I'm guessing Apex?

 

[NY_Caveman]

Apex definitely can. Unsure of others. I have seen some cool custom displays too.

 

[Katrina71]

Any of y'all ever use AI Sol blues? I was reading that the controller will allow thunderstorms too? Andrew loves it in his Biocube. I'm hoping it does. Also lunar phases?

Andrew's doesn't even phase the fish. I was trying to add everything he loves to this tank.
