Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[living_tribunal]

I prefer 8 as well. NSW for the win. In defense of 12 or even 13, isn’t 14 technically the upper limit?

Given how long I go between wc, my alk is probably around 10 I’d say so it evens out a bit.

I have a hanna alk checker on the way so I’ll know soon.

So I was talking to Derek at Miracles Aquariums today looking at maybe grabbing a second tank for my setup. I've had a hankering for Garden Eels lately but they won't do well in my shallow tank so I need something a little deeper. I'm still in debates over adding a second tank but when we were talking he mentioned the fact that I might have started a bit of a trend with my One piece Eurobracing, he's had 6 orders for tanks with the one piece on them so far, some of which have mentioned my name directly.

I never thought I was cool enough to start a trend but here we are, now to come up with a catchy name for it, any ideas??;Bookworm;Writing

You got me all excited and then he basically read the instructions off the back of the bottle :/ I’m just going to keep dosing exactly the same way, (but with the corresponding dose of Ca) continue my wc schedule and let things gradually even out. I’m more concerned with the effect of losing an important member of my Cuc and 20+ percent of my fish bioload. Nevermind how amazing the blenny poops were! He would go up to the top of the tank and take a poop shower in high flow areas, it would go everywhere. Literally crop dusting my corals. If I get rid of my wrasse, there goes another 20% of my fish load, and will completely change the biome of the tank because he’s keeping the little critter populations at a minimum. Every time you change something in a small tank you get a mini cycle...this is incredibly frustrating, I was so happy with where my tank was at. Now I have decisions to make (again!) that I thought were behind me.

Remove the six line, get a pink streaked or possum wrasse and another blenny.
