Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

@Fin, your build looks awesome. Nicely done!
My dad has a sort of similar thing with building cars. He enjoys building them more than driving them. He spends all this time building each one just the way he wants them, and then finds another project. His current build a Triumph tr3, and the next a '38? Dodge truck

OK, I am going to show you what a tank project looks like after sitting for a full year - untouched. Gotta share the bad with the good. Needs a good dusting off!

Man that sump and plumbing are beautiful!

And that is part of my problem. I enjoy building more than maintaining, but not as much as staring at the thriving reef that I hope it becomes. So, time to get back down to business.

Your dad's car projects look awesome. I have two old cars too (not as vintage as your dad's), but they are more in need of a little TLC than restoration.

I think we need to meet at Fin’s. He can make a list of stuff needed to finish the build and we all bring a piece to show our gratitude for opening his door to us. We all can work on finishing his tank between other shenanigans

All I really need is a swift kick in the pants - and a Trident! LOL!

Nevertheless, like you, I do not write off friends and bear with the troubles.

This is how you know if you have a friend or acquaintance

You have positive but realistic post. I love reading them

So we will all bring the swift kick in the *** and you supply the trident. I’ll take one also,trident and swift kick in the ***

I like planning and building more the the maintenance myself

I look forward to watching your reefs grow and thrive!

She’s leaving out the details..... It was really the morning paper and she was in cuffs with a height measurement stick behind her

I was a minor that time.

I posted this on my thread but Katrina71 thread will see more people.

So what do I have here?

Looks like a little feather duster to me.

To bad it is on a piece of fiberglass that had coralline from ipsf.com. I will be removing it soon but wish I could keep the worm

Thats what that is?!?! I couldn’t figure out where that was. Interesting. You should be able to scrape him off and wedge it into a rock. I have loads if different ones on the rock in my biocube from ISPF too. They're microscopic almost and much less colorful.

My Duncan has suddenly gotten very large. I noticed a ton of growth when the clown decided she loved it. I don't think it's a coincidence. Has anyone else noticed similar growth when a coral hosts?

@Katrina71 Oh, come on! With our July 4th deadline coming up you're telling me you found a cheat code for growing Duncans?
Lol! That would be cool if the accelerated growth is not just correlation.

Look, it looks more like a nem than a Duncan now.
