Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[tdlawdo]

I'm going to stay in a glass bottom hut just once! Bucket list.

I just last week tried to rent one at a Sandals in the Caribbean for alter this month but all booked.
I had one in Phuket but I got stuck in China that year and never made it sooooo..still on my list too.

Phuket

Sounds like a place I want to retire!

Ok guys I have a dilemma. The new baby nem has been raised under good lights(Radion gen4 pro). The plan is to place at the top of my tank to attach. The rock shape is perfect. This is Andrew's baby for the lagoon tank. I'm worried about the adjustment. I think up top might be ok. Comments or ideas are appreciated.

I would place it there and see how it does. If it's unhappy, you'll know pretty quickly and be able to adjust.

Yeah, I'm scared. The accidental bta was much easier. I genuinely worry when I get a new baby.

One of my grandmother's all-time favorites.

Andrew would love it in any tank. He's got Steve's, but that would be 2 bta in his tank. Not ideal. Should we put him in a little basket in his tank instead? Yes, I do realize this adds pressure to finish the lagoon. Insert evil laugh.

I think you may want to go lights out when you add him, but I would start him up top as you suggest. I recommend float the bag, and then add him. Once you open the bag get him out quick. You probably know this already.

Long day installing a new security light and toilet at my friend's house. Our new toadstool didn't extend his polyps yet. @12gallonsofhex and @Crabby48 I finally got a head count on the Duncan. Only 5. I think y'all beat me! I don't remember what we bet. I will make good on it though.

I installed a toilet in a boat yesterday. Guess we both had a crappy day.

Hmmm. Interesting idea.

The nem might be a good distraction. The trip to my parent's house isn't all pleasure. My brother called a couple of weeks ago and strongly encouraged a visit. That was what prompted my sudden schedule change. I had planned to wait until after school started.

This made me laugh but I feel bad for laughing. The destruction Louisiana has seen is terrible

Our coastline is eroding away very quickly. Looks like we will be in for some more effects from a tropical disturbance this weekend. Hope it doesn't have time to ramp up too bad in the 85° Gulf. The models are beginning to zero in on the Louisiana coastline. Still too early to tell, but we could have our first hurricane of the season, although it will likely be a tropical storm. Still nothing to sneeze at, since it was a tropical storm that inundated east Texas just last year with record amounts of rainfall. It was so heavy it caused the weather service to add another color to the radar - purple. For those of you following at home, I am in the southwest corner of the state (the heel of the boot), about 30 miles from the Texas line and about 30 miles (as the crow flies) from the Gulf coast. #itneverends

Very glad you were able to make it work.

Stay safe @Fin. Keep that house dry and the tank wet.

I do have 30 gallons of RO/DI water on hand. :-)

Great song by Levon!

Hoping you come through whatever develops unscathed. I went through Lake Charles, on Route 10, at an incredibly slow pace, back in 2012. A story for another day.

Couple of my favorite "hurricane" songs...

Asking @Fin to keep his house "dry" is like asking a clown not to creep people out! ;)
