Yay! Hello everybody, I'm entering a 3G Pico in the Nano in 90 competition.
Marine Depot sent me the new JBJ Cubey Deluxe to test in April. I originally started the tank at the end of April, and re-started it. Originally it had lettuce sea slugs and I was putting in frags with bryopsis from my main tank to feed them. Once they cleaned the frags of bryopsis I would switch them out for others. I re-started the tank this week. I did this because while on a work trip last week, I received pictures from my 9 year old nephew (the tank sitter) which showed that the tank was cloudy. Before I left one of the sea slugs had torn in two and it probably slimed or inked and ticked everything off. While nothing actually died, I decided to start over. The story so far is below.
The pics above show the leak test from April. Yeah that's a cat in there. :wink:
As tradition goes, my tanks start with a catfish. The judges in this competition should consider this a cycle starter not livestock :nerd:
BioCube
The Max
Errr. Here's the pico. :lol:
I threw in water from my established tank, some rocks and macros from there and we were off.
My friends from Dallas sent me a hunk of GSP which the post office decided to keep for an extra day. Some of the bits survived
So here's the cloudy tank from last week
Changed nearly 100% water on it but even so the crud doesn't come out fully. One of the limitations of this tank (amongst a few others)
And here we are. Refreshed and ready to party.
