Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Why-Me]

We want a wrasse too.
I've been showing my daughter different types of wrasse.
Or a baby tang, she likes those too, and we have an lfs 90 minutes away that would trade/wheel n deal with us on a replacement if it's a larger breed tang.

I might monkey with my scape on Friday some.

I'm going through a GHA removal process currently,
Going to pull out and scrub one rock per day until it's done.
Did a nice sized rock today.
There's only 5 rocks and 2 are smaller or easier to scrub so they'll get done together on the same day.

Best pics I could get while my lights were ramping down, they were very blue during the pics

Nice vid, love tube geeking.
I picked 7, purple plus and coral plus.
I have 8 tubes but there are 2 x pp and 2 x cp in the mix.
A word of caution and this is through my experience, aqua blue special is a strong / harsh tube, my corals hated it when I tried one!

We added tisbe pods to both of our tanks last night. I'd love to raise isopods/copepods. Not sure how difficult it is.

I think about Phytoplankton all the time. My tank was at its best when I was dosing it, but I did not have an affordable source. It seems like if you cultured Phyto or Pods you probably should be doing both.

My Pederson’s comes today. He is what held up the shipment so I am concerned.

EDIT: so cool @Why-Me ’s daughter is getting one too

 

[Katrina71]

@NY_Caveman I want lots of pics!!!!!! Please.

 

[NY_Caveman]

I have laundry to do too. Maybe you will get pictures of both!

This is a little blurry. Difficult to get where the corners curve.

I have no idea what that last thing is.

I'm going to guess a spaghetti worm?

 

[NY_Caveman]

He is just the cutest little fella.

 

[NY_Caveman]

What are you thinking with your possible rescape? Will you mix in some of the other rock? More rock? Less rock?

 

[Katrina71]

Not mixing the other rock. Adding some barnacles. Removing some rubble rock at the back of my tank.
