Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

They’d freak out if they saw the pic of my tank I recently posted along with my parameters. My nitrate hovers at 50 & phosphate never gets below .5 but is normally 1 or better

When you’ve got older tanks those parameters are no problems.

I’m a major noob so as always, take nothing I say seriously.

But other noobs I see on here are too aggressive. They do everything to the extreme.

If they see a little gha, they whip out the gfo, vibrant, fluc, massive new cuc addition, etc.

They see nutrient deficiencies, it’s straight to purchasing a doser and dosing stuff like crazy.

I don’t get this stigma around nutrients. My corals look absolutely terrible without phosphates and nitrates. I had to battle hard to raise them and worked hard to ensure my frags had them at all times.

People smh

@living_tribunal Dude thanks, my corals absolutely love this red sea program so far!

Dude, don’t get it twisted.

This is the lt method, not Red Sea.

This is the program corporate is too scared to tell you about.

Look at some of the most beautiful tanks on the forum, they have crazy numbers too. Your tank will let you know if there is a problem.

The primordial oozes is what I call tanks with numbers like that LOL

One lightning strike away from evolving new forms of life ;)

Let’s see how the new members like the display

This is amazing. In all seriousness, there does seem to be a common trend in those tanks: a really deep sand bed that I’m sure never got cleaned. Food for thought? Or playing with fire?

Not a frag plug in sight! You, sir, are doing it right!!

I think you might need glasses!

 

[Why-Me]

I'm taking time lapse video of my nem moving right now, going to sync it with the song man on the run and title it "Nem on the run"

I am actually completely blind, my prescription is -6.5!!

in that blurry picture I think I can see 2, that should get encrusted over in no time. I’ve gone through a lot of effort to not have frag plugs visible, it’s just such an unnatural look imo. my new orange shroom is unfortunately stuck to one, I buried it in the sand as best I could but it still bothers me, that thing needs to hurry up and grow so it completely covers it up! I even got the LFS to use the bone saw to cut the plug smaller so it would be less visible lol

Any bets on if the hermit is alive or not?

It’s good to know that aesthetic compliments from you are meaningless.

I hate plugs too and the process of gluing/securing them to your scape. If only there were an easier process out there.

There is a box of reef rocks at my lfs. Some synthetic rock with holes for plugs meant for mounting.

It’s like $150 though...
