Mark's 14G cube

[Marks38]

This was my original tank that I started in Dec-21. I tried it as an ultra low maintenance tank which did not do so well. I tore it down leaving just the sand and then ran Vibrant in it for a few weeks. I check a couple basic parameters after adding some dry rock. Once the nutrients are low enough I will be adding Purple Helix from Algae Barn and rune the heck out of my blues from an AI Prime 16HD. This tank will become an active quarantine if needed. As of yesterday the nitrates were at 42 and phosphate was .19 .

The Ice Cap skimmer picked up a half of it's cup worth in less than a day. I will keep adjusting as needed until parameters are normal.

So what did you upgrade to?

This tank is coming along faster than I wanted but here it is. I started it Feb 12 of 2022. I tore down my 14 gallon tank and added it's livestock to this tank and then a few more critters. As I write I am leak testing a new Pentair Smart UV. The pics are taken with lights out so you won't see...
