Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[SashimiTurtle]

Oh no... take it apart and clean it? It is a Jebao, they're known to commit seppuku...

Hey, atleast it's not a 400$ wave maker and a week of email correspondence!

With my next tank(no longer limited to the 90 "evil grin") I think im going with maxspect gyres. 2 of them mounted vertically on one side of the tank.

Everyone pokes fun at the hoarders till they need a spare.

 

[Katrina71]

No. I buy used when I can. It happens. Anything mechanical can fail. Just part of it. 400.00 would have upset me.

I know right.
I have a couple five gallon buckets full of powerheads and heaters some back up dry rock a cup a fish net some carbon some chemipure fresh salt return pumps, all of it.
Because its happened before. Just had to replace my sicce power head the other day.

Made reservations to stay overnight for the coral expo the night before. We won't lose time in traffic and can just have a chilled morning. This makes it more of an adventure too. My husband is excited about having the house to himself.

Just got an email that the Pike Blenny will be shipped next week. In the wild they apparently live in worm tubes. Not sure I've ever noticed them in the ocean. Can anyone tell me the average length and diameter? I'm trying to replicate a Coco worm tube (hard tube feather duster)

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Feather duster tube worms.

I used the Home Depot sprinkler tubing .89.

 

[Katrina71]

Awesome idea. I wouldn't have thought of that.

As in, Lizard Blenny? Love those guys! But aren't they a bit aggressive? If not, are they like Rhino Blennys?

Also, @saltyfilmfolks, what is that in the background? Cespitularia? I had something that looked like that but never actually knew what it was, I loved it.

Nope. Common Xenia. I like em.

 

[mkutsch]

Huh, weird. It's been so long since I've seen coral...

 

[Katrina71]

I'm not familiar with the other Blennies you mentioned. These guys are only a problem with others of the same kind.

 

[Katrina71]

Look at KP Aquatics. Yellowface Pike Blenny.

I googled those little guys. Cute. Never seen either of them.

 

[mkutsch]

Yeah, they're fun to watch "jumping" on substrate.

 

[mkutsch]

Oh my God. You got a pike Blenny? I remember now!! I've always wanted one, forgot a while back though. Never found one, they're SO COOL.

Tell me what you know. I've never seen one in person.
