Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[NY_Caveman]

This is happening so fast. I am really excited for you. Just be careful. Do not get the tank if there are any questions. It is fine to go home empty handed.

@NY_Caveman please explain. I know sfin52 has several. I'm sure I will too.

I've got 8 and I'm sure I'll have more

Nothing worse than buyers remorse

I have Seachem Matrix which I would use, but have not had a need yet. I believe @Rakie uses the same. It is a highly porous bio media.

I am not going to make any poor buying decisions. That's why I wanted to make sure you guys would be available. I will take lots of pics and post them so I can get some eyes on it so I don't miss anything.

 

[Rakie]

Seachem matrix is my favorite media,and the one I advise fir everybody to get.

I have 3L in my tank, which is way more than enough.

I also just took a picture of my sponge garden for someone, happens to show my matrix.. if you aren't using sponges, I also advise it. You can get sponges very cheap. Just make sure to get non photosynthetic ones that don't need light.

I feel like we all are buying a tank. I would not start a new thread. You could never top this one.

I am liking the potential for sandbed space.

I was thinking the same thing earlier. I love that it is OUR tank. I mean that. Makes it more special.

 

[Katrina71]

LOL

Nope. Not for me. The hippie kid has been texting you, hasn't he? Lol

 

[Katrina71]

Ok I have a dumb question. Do people include total water volume (sump) when people ask what size tank you have? I would only use DT volume. Am I wrong?

 

[Rakie]

Depends how the question is phrased.

"How many gallons is your system"

"How big is your tank"

 

[NY_Caveman]

+1 but I would add that if a muggle (non-reefer) asked me I would say total volume. Sounds more impressive.

 

[Katrina71]

My face hurts from smiling so much today.

 

[Rakie]

Now you can get a geometric pygmy hawk like @NY_Caveman
