Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

No. LOL.

They call it smoked when they drop you for pushups, do extra marching or running or make you do ridiculous cleaning tasks like scrub the floor with a toothbrush.

The academy is the same way. Fun times.

Been working on some stand ideas for the 60. The canopy is challenging. I have the bones planned, but the lighting is much more difficult.

I know! The stand was so easy for me to design (off of other peoples good ideas) but the housing or floating canopy i want to build for my OR light, the upgraded light that is in process, and a pair of cooling fans is difficult to figure out. I keep drawing out plans that just look like a cardboard box above the tank.

Meh, Im happy with it and its looking pretty good but nothing special yet. If we eradicate the Aiptasia Ill feel better :)

The struggle is real! Started off with one little aiptasia, used aiptasia-x, boom. More aiptasia

Yep, i gave up on all the bottled stuff. F Aiptasia by Franks Tanks has been the best I’ve tried to combat one or two but once the infestation level approaches Nudi’s or a Copperband are the only way to go. I added 8 Nudes to the tank on Thursday night so hopefully I start to see some progress here over the next couple weeks. Dropped 17 into the 110. 6 In sump and 11 into the display.

@Katrinia71 @Scurvy @Manose wish you and many others could have been there. It was a great time and my mind is blown away with seeing all the corals in person.

I had a great time and it was great to meet @NY_Caveman. He has been a big help guiding me along.

Thanks brother. Great to hang with you too. So few people I could spend 4-5 hours with and still get along, LOL.

I added a bunch more pictures here

Glad you guys had a great time! One of these years I’ll make the trip. Meeting some you fine folks in person is reason enough, The eye candy is bonus :)

Pardon the frag plug...Andrew stole some stuff from my tank. Lol. I don't care. Everything is really his when this tank gets transferred anyway.

Ahh I see lol. Isn’t there a tear gas drill at some point? I recall my dad telling me something about that and it being awful.

Half of where put in the front leaning rest for 1/2 hr. the other half relieved us and we rotated like that till the dorm guard figured out who the commander and chief was. Is was 2001 at the time two possible answers bush or Clinton. He ended up with a soap party for that. I did not partake.
