New salty 29g biocube

[Bleigh]

Yay!!!!

 

[Katrina71]

Hurry and put those in so we can see pics!

 

[Bleigh]

Use a chainsaw!

Or a knife, scissors, whatever you'd usually use to cut tape...

I swear I thought I had cut that tape 3 times all the way around. And there were still places I missed. Guess I was too excited.

Can tell much at the moment. Probably good that they arrived before lights came on.

Btw... the biocube will be my qt for corals once I switch to the bigger tank. I did try a qt previously, and the lights on that were terrible so after about two days, I moved them straight into the biocube.

I also think I need to pull out another frag rack. That one is loaded down.

My 6 line wrasse is super interested in the new arrivals.

Can tell a bit more now. (I should really do an inventory of my corals one day).

This is the flower petal monti and Hollywood stunner.

Then bicolor platy, awesome rainbow platy, and if high voltage platy.

Toxcitiy favia:

Last but not least: the lich kink zoas starting to open:

Hows your alkalinity?

7 dkh around noon, it was 6.5 tonight, so added another 10 ml of the mixture. I'm measuring it about 3 times a day cause I don't want to overshoot. I also measured pH - it was 8.2. The corals all seem to be a lot happier. *sigh of relief*

Good work.

Just finished up another page of the unanswered posts! Lol. We may not knock it out by midnight, but won't take long.

Always exciting to receive new corals, take your time to acclimate them, I personally acclimate them no more then 45min some people probably longer but I like to get them in, turn my lights down and place them bottom of the tank. With the wave pumps moving water around them they will feel at home. Enjoy

Not the greatest light to really show the colors, but thought the combo was nice. The blue in the lich Kings are similar to the blue in the scrambled eggs. Can’t wait To get these growing out!

This has turned into my frag tank. I'm going to be doing a lot of work on the biocube and 60 gallon cube this weekend. Hope to get both updated!
