Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Now can we start on a different subject please like who runs without a quarantine tank and does not drip acclimate?

I have never dripped, I float, match salinity, and release. I have qt’d but never for longer than a month for observation.

I have never quarantined. I drIp acclimate fish for up to an hour. Shrimp a little longer. I temperature acclimate and then add everything else. I dip my corals using Bayer.

Nice nice. I dip in revive while we are at it. 8 mins usually.

I do not qt. I do redneck drip acclimate shrimp and delicate little guys. I don't dip coral either.

I would love to set you one up cause it made such a big difference in my tank!! Here is the new salt I am using and WOW I LOVE IT!!!!

Here are more pictures- I have to tape my phone to some boxes so I don't tourettes the pics

Those are cellphone pics?!

That is absolutely beautiful technique!

Can I ask what phone you using and do you use a tripod? What camera apps do you use?

I also eat raw cookie dough.

I have never seen anything come off of a coral I dipped. Probably did not need to. Tank is so small and mostly inexpensive frags. Not sure why I bother. Only thing I ever got from a coral was bubble algae.

Lol, Miss being a kid and eating moms extra dough when she was making stuff.
The ultimate comfort food.

Gave the tank a hard cleaning this morning (wrote more about it here). Duncans were not happy at all.

Opened up a little by the end of the day (under blues)

Wanted to share something I have never seen before. Feral cat family...daddy is with the family and letting the kittens climb on him. Only seen that in big cat prides before.

If you look closely, you can see mom and 2 kittens on the very right of that plank in the top photo. Mom and dad were just playfully biting each other and lying side by side.

I don't qt per se. I watch them in a holding tank for a couple weeks then if they are healthy they go in the display.

Corals are usually watched in the SE manner.

Well I refuse to drip acclimate fish and I do not use a QT so I am not sure if I will be buying any fish that come from a different salinity so I am stuck with divers den :(

These are all taken with the best cell phone camera made right now the Google Pixel 2xl or 3xl as they both have the same camera.
I have tourettes syndrome plus another rare neurological disease so I use a set up heavy boxes and velcro the phone to them then use the voice command to snap the picture :)

 

[Katrina71]

I may regret our choice not to qt. We were told by a few seriously educated folks that it really stresses most fish more than it benefits. We choose not to do it.

 

[Katrina71]

Speaking of stress...I found out last night that the remaining 200.00 for Boy Scout camp has to be paid by June 7. I may need to have a copper dip.

Lol

Sigh, remember when the gas station pumps needed to be replaced because noone ever thought gas would go over $1.×× ?

Don't laugh kids! True story!


They were all mechanical and that was part of what introduced the digital readout pumps.

Now gas can safely reach $9.99.
:-/

9.99-99. Do for get the 99 hundredth of a cent.

I dont. I float the bag add a bit of water over a half hour. In the tank they go
