Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Katrina71 · Aug 24, 2017

I have some really pretty barnacles to add to the tank. I know things are balancing in the new tank, when can I add them?

Now. They won't leach or effect the chemistry.

Not gonna share

I know this is old, but your thread is REALLY long and honestly, I want to read it all so "bear" with me... I can't drink those anymore after I opened one, took a big ol' swig and it had curdled. Little Miss Muffet sitting on her tuffet curdled. I about threw up. After that, I make my own iced coffee. About the only way I can drink coffee. I don't like hot drinks.

I don't expect you to read it.

No offense taken.

Things getting happier in the new home? Glad the Acan finally smiled at ya!

Katrina71 · Aug 25, 2017

Thanks! Nothing is totally happy yet. I have had fun learning from y'all. I'm just some nerdy girl tryin' to make it work.

Katrina71 · Aug 25, 2017

Honestly this week has been super stressful on a personal level. I may have just given up if it weren't for you guys. I owe ya a beer some day.

Scurvy · Aug 25, 2017

You dont owe us anything at all but I'll never turn down free beer

Happy that you and "Spawn" are happy.

I want to upgrade myself but I'm pretty lazy at the end of the day and its a lot of work.

SashimiTurtle · Aug 25, 2017

Hey, so I'm on page 98 or so... you just got a fungia. And I keep hearing things about a new tank? Looking forward to reading that too. Honestly I'm enjoying the goofing off. Oh and more pictures! Even the bad ones.

Katrina71 · Aug 25, 2017

Looking happier.

saltyfilmfolks · Aug 25, 2017

Those are the barnacles in front of the cabbage?

SashimiTurtle · Aug 25, 2017

Yay picture! Looks good... hey I'm almost done reading. I'm on page 123.

Katrina71 · Aug 25, 2017

Those are small and broken. I have some big beautiful ones.

Katrina71 · Aug 25, 2017

Scurvy · Aug 25, 2017

Thats gonna look really cool with some somethings growing over it.

SashimiTurtle · Aug 25, 2017

Yay caught up! Don't worry I had snacks along the way... so I almost just impulse bought these...

But, then I remembered that I really want a pair of candy bassletts... if anyone wants them feel free. They are Biota cpative bred and eat frozen brine... wild caught are hard to keep alive.

Man, candy basslets are awesome! Hard on the wallet though!

@ZoaCollector had one awhile back. I'd shoot him a pm, one hellacious fish vendor. I one had him call personally to help with a sick fish, and I didn't even but it from him.

Katrina71 · Aug 25, 2017

You are selling those guys? Those are pretty. I'm sure somebody will gladly home them for you.

Yes, very hard on the wallet. But so beautiful. I'll be saving up for a pair for a while then I'll give him a shout. I got a golden dwarf moray from him earlier this year, but I lost him to carpet surfing in QT after my velvet disaster. Completely heart broke me. Almost gave up the hobby, but I just kept at it.

No they are, or were not sure if they sold yet, on LiveAquaria Divers Den. They are captive bred, and eat frozen foods. The wild caught ones usually end up starving because they are hard to feed. Sand sifters...
