Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[living_tribunal]

You mean the big ones ?
I've seen some bloom for the small ones!
I dont know how they reproduce, I would think they need at least 2 specimen of the same family but thats only a guess

They seem to be growing in numbers in my tank. I don’t mind them. Maybe my new wrasse will help.

I’ve heard mccoskers are worthless though and only good at being pretty.

That’s normal acan stuff, give him pellets and make him too fat and passive to go into attack mode

I did neglect my fellas lately , been working on their new tank...
5 times as much water for improved stability

Silicone will bond to acrylic and will work find for baffles.

It’s just not the strongest bond.

Use momentive rtv 108 and it will hold great.

What I read is that silicon doesnt adhere to acrylic...

Acrylic, silicone and glass can all work together. Acrylic, however, absorbs water which causes it to expand. There are cases where acrylic was used for baffles, cut to fit very tight, absorbed water, expanded and broke the glass of the sump.

It’s possible.

You’ll be fine if you did a good caulking job, if you didn’t then stress

Since we’re always posting music, this is how you start your morning correct

its been sitting there all night and it didnt move, I used my magnets things to hold it up + some tape + the actually sticky proprietary of the silicone

Just wait for longer than a full 24 hours. This is the key for silicone.

I love my little tank, but there is some coralline in the left rounded corner that is a nightmare.

I use an old credit card in mine that works great, won’t scratch but fits great against the rounded edge and cleans everything off nicely.

My euphilia is closed. Was opening this am and now it’s not. Hmm. Wonder if it’s too much light maybe? Mayhaps I should move it. I like it up front though.

What color is it/what species? I have a green branching hammer that gets a LOT of light and loves it, my purple branching hammer likes less light.

My euphyllias seem to always get stressed over like nothing. They can be hard to diagnose. I've almost given up trying to keep them happy at all times.
