Joann's 60g cube...a work in slow progress

[DiverGirl82]

I also got some margarita snails and star astrea snails. I wanted trochus and cerinth snails but this was all they had. I called around to 4 different stores and no one had them. Anyway I just noticed that everywhere the margarita snails have eaten the diatoms off the rock work is luminescent. Kinda weird.

Reef2go.com has great deals on cleanup packages with free shipping.

I've bought from them before and if there are any DOA's they will crexit right away

 

[MrGemini]

Also aim your powerheads to the rocks and sand without causing a snow6storm to help with the buildup of diatoms

 

[MrGemini]

Make sure you have a lid o. Your tank, fire fish are known jumpers

Dang, that's a lot of crabs. Is that just for your cube or do you have another tank? But that's an awesome deal. Have you ordered from them before?

 

[MrGemini]

Yes, I have purchased from them before when it was Reef2Go. they always have great deals on CUC. they are great of getting things resolved if you have any DOA's too.

 

[MrGemini]

Are you planning to get a tang for your cube?

 

[DiverGirl82]

No I hadn't planned on a tang. My plan is...

1 clown
1 firefish
1 green clown goby
1 tail spot blenny
1 McKockers flasher wrasse
And maybe eventually someday a Mandarin

CLOWNS ARE NICE IN PAIRS BUT SINGLE IS FINE. THE REST OF YOU LIST IS GREAT. I/VE TRIED A MANDRIN IN WIFE'S 25G CUBE. IT DID FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN PARISHED

 

[MrGemini]

partly my fault as I don't take care of her tank as good as I should.

 

[MrGemini]

I wanted to get a nice colorful wrasse for my cube but had to take the melanarus out of hers as it was getting to big for her tank.

 

[MrGemini]

in her tank I've done a scooter blenny 2 golden head gobies 1 mandarin 1 royal gamma a couple of peppermint shrimp and a indigo dottyback. all have parished except the dottyback still alive but he is in my tank, he got booted from hers for being an jerk to other fish. he got put in his place once in my 125g tank that had a couple of trigger fish, porqupine puffer tangs and pain in the butt clarkii's

Thanks, I'm not too sure about the green clown goby. I think they're so cute but the guy at my lfs said he has a hard time keeping them alive. I really want one though.

Sorry to hear about your fish losses. How big is your wife's tank?

 

[MrGemini]

it's a 25g rimless cube, the 6o rimless cube was supposed to have been for her but I liked it too much so kept for myself. it started as a 12g cube, I have a fixation with cubes now. lol

Ammonia's going down, nitrite and nitrate are going up. And still the waiting continues... But this is good right?. I should probably specify that I'm cycling a new tank.

Hello, It is. It's called aquarimate and I have it on my IPad. I'm really liking it so far. You can keep track of your parameters, schedule maintenance reminders and keep a list of your livestock including where/when you got them and how much you paid.
