Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

My trachy has a serious problem, she won’t stop eating.

She has gotten visibly larger since joining the team last week.

Fried Colonel Sanders Nudi Food!
I like Bojangles chicken and tea better. There is one a mile from my house(country, a mile here is still considered next door) on the way to work... cajun fillet biscuits are a common breakfast item.

Dangle a hermit above it.

Sorry for the coral spam but I’m a little chuffed, I think my monti is finally regrowing his green. Then again I could be seeing things.

Also, I had no clue acans grew so fast. Those little dots I sent pics of here last week have turned into legit heads.

I think it’s time to finally start testing alkalinity.

Get those guys off the plugs and glue the skeleton to the rock. They'll encrust a whole lot faster. Also, the monti definitely has green.

I thought I’d never see the green on it again. It’s magnificent when it has both colors.

This lady snapped a piece of it off with her fingernail and gave it to me.

Here is the mother colony.

Also, I think my favia is taking after his big sister. He’s eating a live amphipod right now.

Started Red slime remover 2hrs ago, hooked up an air pump with dual outlet both air stones in each end of the tank making bubbles and the lid off the skimmer for extra oxygen.
To my cyano....BYE FELICIA!!
 
I guess I’m just a little proud to be honest.

I had it at a 50% chance that I’d have a running tank at this point. Especially when I was siliconing this sob.

I’m even more shocked that everything is doing remarkably well. Only one has died from hydrogen peroxide and ain’t a polyp closed in sight. It’s like an explosion of growth.

It’s a serendipitous miracle because it’s certainly not me doing anything right.

#blessed

I’ve been running it for 5 days now. Today was the killer, most of it’s gone. Frags are a little grumpy about the lack of food though.

Are the instructions different for yours? Mine said dose, wait 48 hrs and dose again if necessary, then wait at least a week before using again.

It just melts away it’s glorious

I’ll re check the instructions but I just dosed once and have kept it running. It seems to be working now. Either that or nutrients have bottomed out.
