Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

just got done feeding the tank. I think I had a good feeding response. Closed up and looked like it was eating hard to tell

If it closed, it was eating.

It closed and than returned to pic

Don't freak out if it closes up to sleep.

but the mouth is closed after eating, right?

 

[Katrina71]

It looks closed to me.

Its a day late, but the monthly deep clean is complete. Cant wait to see it tomorrow. Its great now, but the day after a deep clean is the best my tank ever looks.

I am also digging the quick release attachment for the hood. It makes cleaning so easy.

I really need to build me one of those.... since switching out T5s for brighter bulbs, the tank blinds me now when sitting on the couch from 2-8pm... but I like the open top look so I dont want to sit a canopy on it. I think hanging canopy will be the right amount of compromise.

I hear that. It is the switching around that is killer. Friday I got out at 6am. Saturday I had to be in at 7am. Tonight in at 10pm. I basically take several 2-4 hour naps whenever I can when it is not consistent. Usually at least during the week it is consistent, then, on the weekend, I get lots of sleepiness and headaches trying to do other things.
