Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I'd love to have a huge tank someday. We'll get to try out a sump in the bigger tank and see how it works out with a screen top too. I'm leaning toward no water changes down the road.

My current tank goes more natural by the day and I love it. I have run without the skimmer cup for months. Just aeration.

They are all great, but the clown with the mushroom colors is fantastic.

She's all about getting her picture taken now.

You can see her imperfections. I think it makes her more beautiful.

Honesty in reefing, you know when you are pretty sure an introduction was going to go well?
I did buy a big new net today (pictured), cbb bottom left, the S scopas took a serious dislike to it!
I got this little guy because 2 (two) sailfins took a dislike to it.
A few splits and bits but the worst is about a third of a pec gone, it made a great show of it self apparently, I'm a sucker for a fish with attitude!
The net is not in there to try and catch anything currently, it is there because nets in the display makes both scopas' very edgy!
It has settled enough for me to grab a drink and relax, cbb is grazing in between tiffs, it won't starve in here as long as it is allowed to eat, feed in a bit at normal time.

Update, I just called the S scopas an a hole to it's face, someone pour me a vodka tonic please, the odd peeled grape might help!

I have done a couple of feeds now, things are aggravated, no damage being done, I thought it might be the Y scopas that kicked off?!

[najer]
