Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

It's too big.

 

[Why-Me]

You know exactly where it came from, Kat... not really small footprint tho.

Good morning. Overnight update in Andrew's tank...Weirdo moved. I saw it!

 

[Katrina71]

The frogspawn and bta have been at war for a while. The bta was polite and only scooted over at first. I would see the frogspawn actively seeking out the nem with long sweepers. Last night when I was tucking Andrew in, I saw it disappear into the rock, and pop out the front side. It took about 1 minute.

 

[Katrina71]

The frogspawn is massive. 7+ heads. Planning on moving it to the 93. Isolating it on an island is the plan. He does not play well with others.

 

[Katrina71]

Speaking of islands. That's one thing that we are planning into the Miracle scape. Still liking the lagoon style, just bigger. Think upside down C. Offset.

 

[Katrina71]

Ya know the things ya wish you'd done differently? We definitely want isolated corals. It's so much easier to manage some things that way.

 

[Katrina71]

My only concern is keeping sand sifters to keep the sand clean in between the rocks. Also adjusting to how different the flow will be in this tank.

 

[Katrina71]

A lot of thinking and planning. I hope there isn't too much correction to be done after it's actually in the tank. Sometimes it just doesn't look right.

How much light does Andrew's frogspawn get, thinking of giving mine a touch more light, still sandbed but more into the light?

 

[Katrina71]

@Brew12 recently had an issue with a snail in his drain. 2 things, I need to get one of those tools, and I would like to cover my overflow with something to prevent snails or fish from getting down into the pipes. Is this possible?

His likes light. And indirect medium flow.

 

[Katrina71]

His is in the upper 1/3 of the tank.

 

[najer]

His is in the upper 1/3 of the tank.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

 

[Katrina71]

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

He'd love yours! His is green.

 

[Katrina71]

@najer I'd love your input on the new fuge. Obviously I want to stay away from things that go sexual in the tank.

 

[najer]

Off out, I'll get back to you.

A sand tiger conch will do a great job keeping sand clean

What kind is this lazy guy? Ok he’s not lazy but seems to stay in the top of the sand and work on the bottom of the glass lol. He has no stripes so maybe a lion conch or a bear conch oh my.
